PUBLIC WORK AT THE INTERSECTION OF PSYCHOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY AND GOVERNANCE
Collaborations & Commissions
I write, speak and collaborate on the psychological, cultural and political consequences of technological change. My work explores how artificial intelligence, digital technologies and contemporary systems of governance are reshaping attention, identity, relationships and public life—and what these changes reveal about the societies we are building.
Drawing on psychology, history and technology, I aim to make complex ideas accessible without reducing them to simplistic narratives. Rather than treating anxiety, burnout, loneliness and social fragmentation as isolated clinical problems, I examine how they emerge from the environments, institutions and systems that increasingly organise everyday life.
My public work spans keynote talks, panel discussions, long-form interviews, commissioned essays, documentaries, podcasts and interdisciplinary collaborations. I enjoy working across disciplines and with organisations that want to explore difficult questions with intellectual rigour, psychological depth and public accessibility.
I welcome collaborations with literary festivals, museums, galleries, universities, think tanks, public institutions, media organisations, charities and cultural organisations. Whether contributing a keynote, moderating a discussion, writing an essay or developing a public programme, my aim is to create conversations that help people think differently about the relationship between technology, psychology and contemporary life.
Recent work includes writing, public speaking, academic teaching, clinical practice and the development of The Algorithmic State, a forthcoming book examining how economic, political and technological systems increasingly shape the modern mind.

Non-Fiction
The Algorithmic State
The Algorithmic State (forthcoming) examines why rising anxiety, burnout, and social fragmentation are not personal failings, but designed outcomes of contemporary systems. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, political economy, and computer science, it explores how algorithmic technologies govern attention, identity, and behaviour — and why individual fixes such as productivity tools or therapy alone cannot address structural harm. The book asks what forms of care, public life, and meaning remain possible in an algorithmic age.
Fiction
Borderless
Borderless (2026) is a literary novel about the seduction of reinvention. When Charlotte Hughes leaves London for India, she imagines she can escape the borders that have shaped her life—of nation, class, ambition and identity. Instead, she discovers that every crossing creates new boundaries, and every search for freedom carries its own forms of exile. Spanning Delhi, Bangalore, Goa and the Himalayan foothills, Borderless is an exploration of love, power, belonging and the uneasy freedoms of contemporary global life.
