“Tom Cox's writing brings the reader to a profound understanding of human experience through biting humour, technical mastery and a delicious blend of the absurd and the pragmatic. He is almost obscenely talented. ”

“One of the first Substack’s I subscribed to after reading one of his notes (that’s the power of notes for you). I feverishly read his piece entitled ‘Once Upon A Time On A Lane’ and I was hooked. ”
