Craig Mod is a writer, photographer, designer, and publisher whose work is rooted in attention—to the roads he walks, the books he creates, and the ways technology shapes our experience of the world. He joins to discuss his memoir Things Become Other Things and how memory, loss, and the paths we travel, both literal and emotional, shape the stories we tell.
Craig Mod is a writer, a photographer, a publisher, a designer, and a long-distance walker whose work is rooted in attention. Attention to roads, books, technology, memory, and the lives we pass along the way. Craig writes the acclaimed newsletters Roden and Ridgeline and runs Special Projects, an independent publishing and membership community devoted to books, walks, photography, and the making of thoughtful work outside the machinery of the algorithmic internet. He’s also the author of several books, including Kissa by Kissa, Art Space Tokyo, and the beautiful memoir, Things Become Other Things, a book about friendship, grief, class, adoption, Japan, and the alchemy by which motion can turn memory into meaning.
