Sunday Reads - Secret Google Lab & Our Man in Africa

Happy Republic Day!

Last Sunday, I was travelling (Bangalore) and hence, could not share Sunday Reads. 

Here's the latest edition of Sunday Reads. 

• Our man in Africa. (FP)
• Interview with Peter Higgs. (Guardian) Friends, I strongly recommend this piece.
• The secret Google lab that rewards failure. (BBC)
• Capital punishment: The indefensible statute. (The Hindu) I do not agree with the idea but the argument is interesting.
