Spell-checking the Futr

Published: May 14, 2016, 2:44 p.m.

Self-confessed "digi-drunkard" Will Self on predictive texting, spellchecking and algorithms.

Will tries to convince himself - and us - that his use of technology is considered and practical, not the "glug-glugging of the cyber sozzled"!

But, he admits, "a great river of denial runs through me...as I fidget and tweezer my way through the glassy looking-glass and into the virtual world".
