Writing
The Bookseller & beyond
I write a monthly column for The Bookseller, the UK book trade's paper of record. The column explores how Allied Intelligence, creativity and technology intersect with publishing, culture and how we think. Some columns are behind The Bookseller's paywall; the links below will take you as far as they can.
The Bookseller Column
Eighteen columns and counting, grouped here by the ideas they explore rather than the months they appeared.
The Panthropic & Allied Intelligence
The core framework: AI as a dialogue with the collective conscious of humanity, and the case for treating it as an ally rather than a threat.
Creativity & the Human-AI Partnership
What happens when human intuition meets machine pattern-recognition: the Creative Duet, the new aesthetic, and the science of surrender.
Superabundance & Discoverability
One hundred million books, six hundred in a lifetime: the arithmetic of creative abundance and why presence over time matters more than launch.
AI, Society & the Road Ahead
The job market, the canary, the slop: where AI meets the world beyond publishing, and why honest engagement beats both panic and naivety.
