What if the world online is showing us exactly what we keep choosing to see?
At five forty each morning, Mags Penrose opens the Saltmouth Noticeboard. Once a place for lost cats and tide tables, it has become a daily catalogue of arguments. Then Isaac, a resident at the care home where Mags works, tells her why: the machine gives people more of whatever makes them stop.
He should know. Years ago, he helped build one.
So Mags tries something small. Each morning, she puts something real at the top of the page: a lifeboat, a garden, a heron standing in the estuary mud. One good thing, offered before the day's first fight.
But online habits reach far beyond a village noticeboard. Mags's son Kit is caught in the polished promise of an influencer who may not be who she says she is, while the people around Mags begin to wonder what their own clicks, posts and silences are adding to the world.
Tender, clear-eyed and quietly hopeful, Turn It Round asks whether attention can be given more deliberately-and whether small acts of kindness can change what a community sees.
