If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?

an enormous and influential tract of British media has no interest in addressing the fact Nigel Farage is a far-right agitator, and that is a complete failure

The novel I’m working on includes some glimpses at the late 2030s. What are your predictions for what the U.K. (and the world) will look like? I’m trying to balance realism, pessimism and a craving for optimism.

So sad to learn that Nora Ikstena has died aged 56. Soviet Milk is an exceptional novel that had a profound effect on me. If you’ve not read it, I urge you to pick it up. It’s slim but devastatingly effective.

I don't think I took a single breath during the first half of this book. 59 Minutes is one of the best stories I've read in a while, with a twist that is SO perfectly executed, I never saw it coming. Out on the 25th from @holly.bsky.social

The book cover for 59 MINUTES by Holly Seddon shows an hourglass with yellow sand on a blue background and the tagline: an hour until the world ends. What would you do?

The original Threads affected me so deeply that decades later I wrote 59 Minutes (out in September) with similar themes. For a long time, Threads felt *archived*… so it almost feels like this is confirming something terrible. Does that make any kind of sense?
