I'm pleased to have placed Benjamin Teitelbaum's new book with Leo Hollis @versobooks.bsky.social for publication, hopefully, in 2026 if it can be written and edited fast enough. As with WAR FOR ETERNITY, Ben is determined to hone in on the heart of the matter.

Wonderful to see copies out in the wild! Looking forward to publication day on Thursday @leorzmigrod.bsky.social @vikingbooksuk.bsky.social

So great to read that Nicholas Clee of BookBrunch and Lauren Brown of The Bookseller have realised how brilliant Nell Stevens' THE ORIGINAL is. I love Luke Bird's UK cover for the Scribner UK edition but the Norton cover is also a delight. Finished copies arrived today 📚

Happy Publication Day @summerfieldlab.bsky.social whose brilliant ‘THESE STRANGE NEW MINDS: How AI Learnt to Talk and What It Means’ is published by Viking Penguin today. It is an honour to work with such a dazzlingly human mind.

I am a bit bashful about sharing this profile www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... of me in @thetimes.com, but will do so because it kindly refers to my new book which is coming out in early March. www.penguin.co.uk/books/460891.... The tech titans pictured seem to be decoration (and not my co-authors)

So excited that The Ideological Brain has been named one of The Guardian’s “Brilliant Books to Read in 2025” & one of The Telegraph’s AND New Scientist’s “Best Books of 2025”! 🤯 @theguardian.com @telegraphnews.bsky.social (& in love w the beautiful @newscientist.bsky.social cover by Sofia Bonati)

This book is as revolutionary as anything I have reviewed in 27 years doing so. It has the ability to force a complete rethink of how democracies work. It will be controversial, and probably banned in red states. Can't wait to publish my review in March. I could do it now if you want...

Let my first post on here be with the uplifting news that proofs are in for the book murdered journalist Dom Phillips left incomplete when he died, but has now been finished and will be published in May.
