I mean, I remember you saying to me when we spoke, I think back in June, that when you needed information, when you were at Cambridge, you literally would cycle to the library.
10:37
Yeah.

I mean, I think there's two slightly different questions in there.
10:40
The one is sort of the research process and the other is sort of, you know, the writing process, although of course the two are connected.
10:47
In terms of research, it kind of makes me feel a little bit old when you put it like that, but it was really the case that I was probably one of the luckiest people in the planet studying in Cambridge because I was close to one of the largest libraries in the world.

But to get to information, I would still have to get on a bike and it was about a 15-minute ride to get to the university library.
11:05
And from there, you would order a book and it would probably take about an hour for it to find its way to you to the extent someone else hadn't already sort of borrowed it before you.

How does that apply to you? How do you see your life's work and the future of it and what it is you're trying to build and create?
