I’m a writer.
A lot of my stuff sits at the intersection of tech culture and “high” culture. I’ve got a mild obsession with making old things new.

BIO
I was born in Leytonstone, and grew up there, in Sunderland, and in Windsor. I studied at the Universities of Cambridge and York. I haven’t decided if I’m Team Printed Word or Team Internet yet.
