Hanif Kureishi, best known for his work about the British immigrant experience, asked for leads on voice-assisted technology after suffering a serious injury.
The 68-year-old Oscar-nominated screenwriter of “My Beautiful Launderette” described what he called a near-death experience after feeling dizzy while watching a soccer game and sipping beer.
