It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.

If you haven’t yet, check out my conversation with Nick Makoha. We spoke about his Eliot shortlisted book The New Carthaginians, the relevance of faith to his poetry, and I might have accidentally agreed to walk up Kilimanjaro (though if I was sensible I edited that bit out)

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
