How to Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman.
You might be nodding along to Pixie Lott and Jennifer Hudson singing about solar panels in “ On Top of the World”, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the catchy pop song was the brainchild of Shell (weirdly none of the lyrics mention Shell’s oil spills or alleged human rights abuses in the Niger Delta). In 2021, you might take the kids to learn about renewables at the Adani Green Energy Gallery in the Science Museum blissfully unaware that Adani is a massive coal mining company and that their sponsorship contract includes a gagging clause preventing the Science Museum from discrediting their reputation. They go on to explain that “social listening data showed Shell mentioned in three times as many conversations regarding innovation and technology compared to their nearest direct competitor BP” and boast that “positive mentions outnumbered negatives by a ratio of three to one”, which actually sounds a bit rubbish, but they reassure that “advocate voices were raised to defy cynics”. Using these trusted information sources, the marketing company disseminated a “native content programme”, which is advertising speak for Shell content that is made to look like an original piece from the publisher, achieving 133 million views. They show how they “got into millennials’ news feeds using NowThis News”, a hugely popular, progressive (some would say “woke”) social media news channel. In one industry-facing video, a marketing company explains how they use collectives of “authentic” pop-science influencers to talk up Shell’s “ground-breaking energy ideas” so as to change people’s perceptions of them as a fuddy-duddy oil company.

And if you scroll a little further back you’ll find tweets about The Great Travel Hack, a Shell-branded, celebrity-hosted online series in which two teams race each other around the world using “lower carbon vehicles”, which seems to be a little like a tobacco company getting two teams of cancer patients to see who can chuff their way through a duty free pack of “low-tar” cigarettes the fastest. Most recently, you might have found Shell tweeting about wind turbines in Norway or electric car charging stations in China. But you wouldn’t know this if you scrolled down Shell’s Twitter feed, which reads as if it were a renewable energy company. There is also (as yet) no local chapter of Extinction Rebellion to kick up a fuss. Because what you might not have read is that Shell is also reportedly considering new offshore oil and gas fields in, among other places, Libya, where environmental oversight is a little more relaxed than off the coast of Scotland. You may have seen last week that Shell abandoned its proposed Cambo oilfield in the North Sea, which is good news in a sort of armbands-on-the-Titanic kind of way.
