Me

My email address is ent[ ]ment@qntm.org (put "angle" in the gap).

This is deliberately obfuscated so spam bots don't harvest it.

I get a fair bit of spam anyway.

Ho hum.

Frequently asked questions

"Can I obtain a signed copy of one of your books?"

• I'm appearing at Edinburgh International Book Festival on 16 August 2026.

• There's a special edition of There Is No Antimemetics Division coming in the next year or so, from Conversation Tree Press. These will all be signed, but numbers will strictly limited.

I have signed some copies of Antimemetics for bookshops in the past (Forbidden Planet, Waterstones and Goldsboro Books, all in the UK), but it is likely that these have all been sold by this point.

Follow me on Bluesky for further announcements.

"I have written a book, would you like to read it?"

Thank you for thinking of me! But unfortunately my pile of books to read is already a solid two metres tall right now and still growing. Plus, I'm working on a new book, and this is consuming much of my free time.

"Can you please send me a copy of There Is No Antimemetics Division V1?"

No. V1 is no longer available for sale for the reasons explained here. There is no remaining physical stock of this book. I have been contractually obligated to halt sales of V1 as part of the deal for V2.

You can still read the V1 in its original format at the SCP Foundation project. Meanwhile, V2 is on sale now in hardcover, ebook and audiobook form!

"Can I contribute an article to qntm.org?"

No.

"Can I put an advertisement on qntm.org?"

No.

"Can I buy qntm.org?"

No.

"I have a question about Absurdle."

Please check the Absurdle FAQ before contacting me or leaving a comment.

"Can I translate a qntm.org article from English into another language and publish it elsewhere?"

You can make the translation, but I'd prefer you didn't publish it yourself. If you email the translation to me, I would (probably) be happy to host it here myself, where you're free to link to it. This has been done several times before:

• Lena
• I don't know, Timmy, being God is a big responsibility
• ...

My preferred format for submissions is HTML.

No, I do not accept machine translations. No one does.

"Can I use your writing to train an LLM or similar?"

No.

"Can I adapt The Difference for a short film/etc.?"

Please read this.

"Can I print out a qntm.org article for my personal use?"

Yes.

"Can I give you some money?"

You can buy my books: There Is No Antimemetics Division, Valuable Humans in Transit and Other Stories, Ra, Fine Structure and Ed, and tell all your most influential friends!

Please also consider leaving a review, or at least a star rating, on the store front where you made your purchase.

"What's the favicon supposed to be?"

It's a face in profile.
