Welcome to Connected Magazine

How are technologies reshaping society, in particular, the way we learn and communicate but also work, do business, conduct politics and, more generally, live? Such were the questions Connected Magazine raised. With over 240 articles and interviews, most written or carried out by Alan McCluskey, the original Connected Magazine (see archive) was published in simple html format. It was begun on January 15th, 1996 and spanned sixteen years, finally updated last on April 23rd, 2012. To make the material more accessible - much of which remains relevant today - Secret Paths is revising and republishing a large selection. The photos, taken by Alan McCluskey, are more recent. For information about Alan McCluskey's novels, click here.

The latest novel: We Girls

We Girls
Straddling the line between child and adult, between carefree creativity and weighty responsibility, between play and work, Kate and Peter find imaginative ways to confront far-reaching problems on which adults persistently turn a blind eye.
We Girls is the 3rd book of The Boy & Girl Saga written by Alan McCluskey. The two earlier books have been republished in revised editions.
