“Toby is a deep thinker about technology and how to navigate the world as an independent worker.”
Simone Stolzoff, The Article Book Club
“Every piece Tobi writes makes me think, makes me want to join the discussion. I love his luscious way of describing his experiences and the corners his brain is willing to sniff. It’s a lovely little breather from the humdrum. For those looking for that sabbatical – literally or figuratively – when I tuck in for a Tobi read, I feel like I’m on sabbatical myself!”
E.L. Zeitgeist, Bonesick
