Episode 2 of 5

Glyn Maxwell considers whether we have all become too black and white, and too binary in our digital lives.

In this series of essays, five writers talk about what black and white evokes for them. Beginning with something quite tangible, each piece unfolds to tell a story that is deeply personal and also far-reaching.

Glyn Maxwell looks at the words on his page and thinks about whether we've all become too black and white, too binary in our digital lives. It's possible that we lost something valuable in the spectrum of grays afforded by analogue.

Produced in Bristol by Siobhan Maguire.
