In the beginning was the Word. Now there' s PowerPoint. It' s used for weddings, warfare and webinars, for literature, lessons and law. And, of course, to tell everyone that Q4 is going to be a lot more challenging than Q3. PowerPoint is probably the most successful piece of software in history - but do you know who invented it? Or why it' s banned in American courtrooms? Or which Pulitzer Prize-winning novel has a chapter entirely in PowerPoint? At its heart, PowerPoint is about presentation, theatre and culture. About how to think, create and persuade. And it' s hated and loved in equal measure for reasons that tell us a lot about power and who gets to say what where. All of life is somewhere in a PowerPoint slide. Come inside to find out why.
This book is giddy with the joy of communication. A love letter to language (' Use a little alliteration' , page 159) -- Stuart Heritage
Russell Davies has squandered what talents he has learning more about PowerPoint, creativity and communication than is really healthy. He' s used PowerPoint inside 10 Downing Street, written about it for Wired, and put it in a MoMA exhibition. He' s PowerPointed for organisations like Nike, Microsoft and Apple. Next slide please.
