I had almost forgotten what it was like to hear a political speech that demonstrates a coherent point of view. Carney is right, and Keir Starmer could never.

Novels I haven’t finished reading are piling up by my bedside. What if that’s a good thing? | Hanna Thomas Uose Authors are sounding warnings about the length of the modern attention span, but my series of abandonments is a sign of something else, says author Hanna Thomas Uose

Wrote a little bit about my horrible habit of abandoning books...

Autocrats and tech bros want to live for ever. Here’s how bleak that future could be | Hanna Thomas Uose My novel explores the consequences of extreme longevity. Meanwhile, Putin and Xi are pondering immortality in real life, says writer-strategist Hanna Thomas Uose

Very glad to see my words in The Guardian today! Much less glad about the political developments that led to this piece. I was hoping we’d have a bit more time before the world of Who Wants to Live Forever becomes realityβ€¦πŸ˜±

Writers Unbound As another literary festival season draws to a close, a writers’ group is highlighting the connections between publishing, the fossil fuel industry, and the genocide in Gaza.

I’ve written a long read for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social about happened with Baillie Gifford, @fossilfreebooks.org and all the festivals. A lot of fake news circulated at the time so, whatever side you came down on, I’d be grateful if you read and shared it. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/writ...

The level of overt racism being experienced by friends and family especially outside of London is crazy. The UK is changing rapidly. Monkey noises, being kicked out of Airbnb's, racial slurs and a general hostility. People of colour have always had these experiences but it is ramping up.

I found one of Jordan Peterson’s books in the local little free library so I tore it in half and threw it in the recycling and I feel really good about it

I really do not want our speculative fiction re a war on Iran to turn out to be prophecy.

Who Wants To Live Forever by Hanna Thomas Uose

Who Wants To Live Forever by Hanna Thomas Uose

It's very rare that a book makes me cry, but the ending of Who Wants to Live Forever really got to me. Best book I've read so far this year. The world building is absolutely top-notch. It's a book about the monetisation of eternity and the people we take for granted while pursuing our ambitions.
