Why subscribe?

The Psychgeist is a (mostly) monthly newsletter that dives deep into the intersection of science, games, and digital culture. This is my industry-focused publication, where I examine the latest research, emerging technologies, and professional developments shaping our digital landscapes.

Our understanding of these rapidly evolving digital spaces can be challenging to navigate, especially for those working in related fields. This newsletter serves as your essential briefing for parents, educators, researchers, game developers, and industry professionals who need to stay informed about how these environments are transforming, their impact on users and society, and what's emerging on the horizon.

Yes, I probably mean the metaverse.


Subscribe to The Psychgeist get full access to the (mostly) monthly newsletter and website. Never miss critical updates on cutting-edge research and developments in our understanding of digital environments and their implications.

While I will always support free readers (access to knowledge shouldn't have barriers), consider a paid subscription to keep this work sustainable and unlock the comments section plus the ability to start discussions in the chat community.

New addition: The most recent episodes of my newsletter now feature an audio companion through the Most Recent Save podcast, making it even easier to stay current with the latest insights while on the go.
