Essays & other writing

These days my writing is generally concerned with transformative technology and the future of Britain. Here is some recent work for UnHerd and other publications.

UnHerd

• MAGA’s Dark Abundance mission

• Geoengineering Mother Earth

• Is it time for Sinofuturism?

• The elusive goal of AI sovereignty

Other

• Why British Antarctica should be settled and developed (Palladium)

• Looking back at the Future of Humanity Institute (Asterisk)

• Watt lies beneath: the cutting edge of geothermal (Works in Progress)

I’ve also written for the Spectator, Prospect and various national newspapers, sometimes on slightly less lofty topics.
