Worth reading: The Doom and Gloom Edition. The Financial Times and the New York Times are speaking our language this morning with what long-time Enterprise readers will recognize as two of our favourite Doomesday themes. The Financial Times is starting a four-part series headlined Robots: Friend or Foe (landing page for day one of the package).

Meanwhile the New York Times gives us all a glimpse of what an organized response to one of the greatest threats facing Egypt might look like in Resettling the First American ‘Climate Refugees’.

Not enough of a downer for you? New York Times Cairo Bureau Chief Declan Walsh decamped to Syria, from whence he has penned the bittersweet On Streets of Syria’s Capital, Even the Sweet Is Sour. A story of war, loss and survival told in part through two small businesses and black humour? What’s not to love.
