I wrote a pamphlet called Hope Must Be Held In A Clenched Fist. It’s limited to 1000 copies. It’s about hope and fear, the emboldening of the far right and the need for direct action. Buy it here www.nikesh-shukla.com/store

A graphic showing Mark Watson's blurb for "The Anechoic Chamber", which reads: 'There aren't many writers out there as entertaining as Will Wiles. These brilliantly executed stories offer delicious bite-size portions of his unsettling wit and eye for the killer detail (sometimes literally). Funny, chilling, intriguing: each tale offers something different from the last, and the overall result is like listening to a perfectly made album.'

Absolutely thrilled that "The Anechoic Chamber" has received this blurb from the excellent @watsoncomedian.bsky.social - Thank you so much Mark!
