People were very nice about the book news. That's very kind. Thank you.
So, while people are paying a little attention here's a question where I could do with some help.
I'm trying to write a section called (something like) Ten PowerPoints That Shook The World. You can imagine the kind of thing. Semi-serious / because no PowerPoint has ever really shook the world / loose definition of PowerPoint (any presentation with a screen?) etc.
I guess what I really mean is famous/important/notorious presentations. ie not just speeches, or just diagrams.
I've got some candidates below but it's not a brilliant list, not least because they're mostly men. And because they're from a particular slice of the world: tech/commerce/government etc. I guess that might be because of the Power bit of PowerPoint. But can anyone suggest any others?
Stay Home. Protect the NHS. Save Lives
Al Gore / An Inconvenient Truth
Andrew Cuomo / COVID briefings
Patty McCord / Netflix Culture Deck
UPDATE
People have also suggested:
Snowden (especially) (thank you Matt and Tom)
YouTube pitch (thank you another Tom)
Not all of these exactly fit the criteria at the top but that's not a big deal. I can change that. These all need writing about.
I'm very struck by how many of the actual authors of these presentations are anonymous, secret or unknown. Presentations do tend to erase authorship and there's not a Writer's Guild or something to regulate the credits. That's worth fixing. (As Ella says "attribution is a revolutionary activity")
