A Vintage Laptop Backpack with the Salt of a Port City

Göteborg grew up around its harbour — canals cut by Dutch engineers, cranes on the Kattegat, salt and coffee in the same breath. It’s a working city, and this is a working bag.

The Göteborg vintage laptop backpack is built from waxed cotton canvas and crazy horse full-grain leather, materials that don’t ask to be babied: you load them up, carry them out, and they quietly get better for it. Sling on one of our waxed canvas backpacks and it sits like it’s been yours for years — even on the first morning.

Built Around the One Thing You Can’t Replace

Underneath the heritage looks, the Göteborg is organised for a working life. A quilted, padded computer interlayer cradles a laptop up to 15.6 inches — a MacBook, an ultrabook, a tablet — held inside the main compartment, away from the knocks of a packed train or a bike rack.

Around it there’s room for a notebook, a charger, a paperback and a lunch without complaint. It’s the bag for the commute that turns into a café, the lecture that turns into a long evening — the day that doesn’t fit a single label.

Waxed Canvas and Crazy Horse Leather, Aging on Your Terms

Run your thumb over the canvas and you feel the wax in the weave — a dense, dry finish that turns a passing shower without any synthetic membrane, and can be re-waxed when the seasons turn wetter. It’s water-resistant rather than waterproof, and honest about it.

The crazy horse leather is oil-immersed full grain: firm and matte at first, then softening and darkening where your hand falls and the straps flex, so the bag ends up marked by your routine rather than someone else’s idea of new. The brass buckles dull to a warm patina alongside it.

Pockets Where You Reach for Them

Nothing here is decorative. A buckle-closing front pocket keeps a wallet, sunglasses or keys a single flip away, and two open side pockets take a water flask or a folded umbrella.

The main opening sits under a leather flap with a concealed zip beneath it — quick for you, slow for a hand in a crowd — while two interior pockets stop the small things sinking to the bottom. Magnetic buckles snap the flap shut in seconds when you’re on the move.

Who Carries a Göteborg?

It suits the people who carry their work with them: students crossing campus, designers and writers moving café to studio, commuters who’d rather own one good bag for a decade than three cheap ones in the same time.

It’s a unisex cut in muted, lived-in colours — emerald, dark grey, coffee and army green — and it makes no promises it can’t keep: no laptop-proof waterproofing, no expedition harness, just a well-made canvas-and-leather backpack that earns its place by being used.

One Bag, Many Chapters

Carry the Göteborg through a few seasons and it stops looking like a product and starts looking like yours — the canvas softened, the leather creased where you grip it, the brass gone warm.

Look after it now and then, and it’ll outlast the laptops it was bought to protect, collecting the marks of every commute, campus and trip along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

+

Yes. Inside the main compartment, a quilted padded computer interlayer holds a laptop up to 15.6 inches — a MacBook, ultrabook or tablet — cushioning it from the knocks of a commute.

+

It is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. The waxed cotton canvas and the leather flap over the opening turn light rain and splashes; for heavier or prolonged rain, re-waxing the canvas keeps its resistance at its best.

+

A 15.6-inch laptop in the padded interlayer, plus a notebook, charger, paperback and lunch in the main compartment. The front pocket takes a wallet or sunglasses, and the two side pockets hold a flask or a folded umbrella — enough for work, study or a full day out.

+

The main opening sits under a leather flap with a concealed zip beneath it, which keeps a quick hand out in a crowd. Combined with the magnetic-buckle flap, it offers a good level of everyday security on public transport.

+

Spot-clean the canvas with a damp cloth and air-dry it, then re-wax when the fabric looks dry or lightens at the creases. Wipe the crazy horse leather and feed it occasionally with a little balm; natural marks and a deepening patina are part of its character.

+

The Göteborg has a unisex design and comes in four muted colours: emerald, dark grey, coffee and army green.

+

It comes with a 2-year warranty and a 30-day return policy, and payment can be split into 3 or 4 instalments at checkout.

all driven by artificial super intelligence (ASI)
Format: Hardcover
You are peering inside a black hole at a "point" beyond which you cannot see and where no one knows what exists. The point represents a period of time technologically known as Singularity. Even light cannot escape from the point and on the other side it is known only that there is a profound self replicating intelligence greater than our own, all driven by artificial super intelligence (ASI). Physicist Stephen Hawking writes that "In contrast with our intellect, computers double their performance every eighteen months. So the danger is real that they could develop intelligence and take over the world". Computer scientist and professor Vernon Vinge writes that "Within 30 years, we will have the technological means to create super human intelligence. Shortly after the human era will be ended". Our Final Invention is 267 pages of authoritative manuscript that is compelling, fascinating and beyond the fright stage. The book's author on numerous occasions refers to "we" as if there exists a unified collective engaged in artificial general intelligence(AGI) or artificial super intelligence (ASI). The reality is that some 56 nations are currently in different stages of arcane artificial intelligence designs. They include antagonists such as North Korea, Iran and suicide regimes from the Middle East. Russia, China and the U.S. are the biggest players as is Israel. The author believes that super computers fueled by nanotechnology will combine to produce ASI trillions of times more powerful than any human academic or intellectual resources. ASI has the potential to eliminate hunger, poverty, disease and even mortality but disruptions of global economies and politics will be in evidence as balance of powers are shifted. Unemployment dynamics will infect bank tellers, retail clerks, travel agents, loan officers stock brokers.... Computer software designs are so complex, even incomprehensible, that failures are inevitable. The 1986 Chernobyl meltdown, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima were all designed by highly qualified professionals but with complex infrastructures. Under Singularity as computer speeds double with frequency while human intelligence is unchanged, perhaps the musings of Hawking and Vinge will prove to be prescient. Our Final Invention is 267 pages of a very dark subject which not even a trace of a happy Betty Grable ending is to be found. My time has expired. Perhaps the final words were well expressed by Jaan Tallin, cofounder of Skype: 'A hard-hitting book about the most important topic of this century and possibly beyond---the issue of whether our species can survive. I wish it was science fiction but I know it's not'!

Gripping and Informative, a Must-read
Format: Hardcover
As someone who struggles to finish books in their entirety, I found Our Final Invention by James Barrat highly readable, deeply informative, and utterly gripping. The book contains a powerful message: through competition, distrust, desire and curiosity, humans will inevitably create an artificial intelligence (AI) that rivals or surpasses our own. Thus, it is wise and necessary to invest now in mitigation efforts and potential safeguards -- increased research and advocacy for AI risk and, most importantly, producing friendly AI. Barrat covers a lot of ground, but his main argument is summarized as follows: Currently, we humans regularly utilize narrow AI technology (technology capable of achieving specific, programmed goals through unassisted human computing -- Siri, Google search, IBM's Watson, etc). We are also experimenting with "black box" tools and techniques (programs where inputs and outputs are understood and measurable, but the processes in between aren't -- genetic algorithms/programming and software that writes better software) and artificial neural networking (ANN), as seen through efforts to reverse engineer the human brain. And, below the surface, there is an ongoing race between world powers (driven mainly by national security, defense, and international business interests) and guided by AI developers to develop and achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) -- human-level artificial intelligence. The problem is that once AGI is achieved it will be very difficult to manage, and may very well result in the manifestation of artificial super intelligence (ASI) -- greater than human-level intelligence. ASI could theoretically become thousands of times smarter than the smartest human being alive. It won't think like us, won't want to be ruled by us, and, most crucially, it won't want to be turned off. In fact, ASI would likely regard us as potential fuel for its quest to duplicate and improve itself exponentially in order to achieve its goals. Throughout the book, Barrat refers to interesting psychological phenomena and concepts (such as the normalcy bias), while drawing on personal experiences, historic events, and interviews with computer programmers, inventors and philosophers, to tactfully illustrate how progress in AI development is dangerously rapid. Adequate checks and balances are not in place to deal with a non-ideal intelligence explosion or hard take-off (AGI quickly leading to ASI). I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about both human beings and the advancement of machines. I suspect that the prominence of AI, as a research field and topic for discussion, will only increase in time (it already has in recent years -- drones, smart technology, Wall Street high frequency trading (HFT), financial modeling), making Our Final Invention a valuable guide or stepping stone for anyone trying to understand our world and the path of the future.
