About
This is Robert Sharp’s eponymous blog. I write mainly on ideas of multiculturalism, shoddy political debates, and the impact of digital technology, especially the Internet, on our lives and cultures. I call this Internet Philosophy (although that term may be erroneous).
I am obviously interested in everything I add to the blog, so perhaps it is worth highlighting some posts that others have enjoyed. My posts Why Are We Wasting Our Time With This Shit? and Encountering the Submerged found their way into the 2007 Blog Digest, edited by Justin McKeating. My blogs on Ghost Prisoners at Guantanamo and An Alternative To Live Earth were featured on the Guardian’s ‘Best of the Web’ section. The Impact of Blogs was commissioned for Writers News Magazine, and A Most Respectful Letter was shortlisted for the Ben Pimlott Prize. I also enjoyed meeting and interviewing the Dalai Lama for my LIP Magazine article Immortal Kmobat.
I live in London and am the Communications Officer at the SMF. I am also a director of Fifty Nine Productions.
One thing I am not is the Independent features writer Rob Sharp. At least, not yet.
