Alone in Japan: A Journey to the Future
From the acclaimed writer and journalist, a vivid and wide-ranging portrait of love, sex and loneliness in contemporary Japan
No sex. No kids. No future?
When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, and a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come – but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning.
This book offers a unique portrait of life in contemporary Japan, from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the dynamism of its megacities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. The country is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the population is shrinking. As things stand, it will fall by a third with each new generation.
Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples’ homes, Feiling meets those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and considers the risks – and the opportunities – of the rise in solo living in Japan, and beyond.
Clear-sighted and surprising, Alone in Japan is a portrait of love, sex and death in contemporary Japan that should provoke and engage us all. It is an electrifying portrait of a nation on the brink by one of the most original reporters working today.

The Elements of Power: A New Yorker writer uncovers the darker side of the green revolution
‘A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics […] Niarchos has produced an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism.’ Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing
How we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.
Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals – essential for the decarbonization of our economies – and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.
Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”―the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.
In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?
With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance
In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: ‘We are as gods – and we might as well get good at it.’ Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.
We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles – omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection – are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn’t whether humanity can play god. It’s whether we can do it wisely.
In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity’s ascent from scarcity to superabundance – and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.
Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.
Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won’t be built by those who fear what’s coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.
Abundance is here. Are you ready?

F*ck It isn’t just the name of her favorite smoothie—it’s also Verona Montero’s approach to murder investigations.
“I grinned like a lunatic from page one to the end.” —Shannon Baker, award-winning author of Stripped Bare
Verona Montero loves calling herself a private dick because it makes her sound like she’s in a 1940s detective movie. And she gets to say “dick” a lot. So when Miami—a walking Barbie with an emoji addiction—needs proof her billionaire husband Javier is cheating, Verona’s all over it. Bonus: it means working with divorce lawyer Quentin, whose cologne gives her “crotch headaches.”
Then bam—Javier turns up dead in Greece, and Miami is staring down a murder charge. With her client’s billions at stake and a hefty retainer padding her account, Verona’s jetting off to Mykonos faster than you can say “Dark and Stormy.”
Between conning hotel staff and recruiting a drag queen to go undercover in a secret sex club, evidence suggests that the wrong person might be taking the fall. Now Verona’s facing her toughest moral dilemma yet: pursue justice for a dead predator, or let a killer with excellent taste in victims walk free.

The Dirty Swallow: An Extreme Horror Novella
Eleven years ago, an inbred, cannibalistic family lived in the tiny hamlet of Hanow in West Cornwall, consisting of three tumbledown cottages and a pub. Nestled in the sprawling wild countryside before the cliff edge, miles away from the nearest village or town, the family dwelled in squalor, their properties in Hanow passed down from generation to generation.
The pub hadn’t been a pub for many years. Not officially, anyway. A cousin of the family who owned a B and B in the neighbouring town of Penzance occasionally sent tourists their way, especially if they were young and pretty. Those that tackled the fifteen-mile hike along the cliff path to Hanow were rewarded with a pub lunch and a pint.
Most of them ended up as the pub lunch.
But, that is all in the past. Hanow has since undergone a makeover, courtesy of ambitious couple Brian and Jenny Cartwright, the new landlord and landlady of the infamous pub, The Dirty Swallow. They have bought the entire hamlet and have big business plans.
Three old school friends are doing the fifteen-mile hike from Penzance to Hanow.
A father and his estranged teenaged daughter are also making the pilgrimage for a ploughman’s and a pint.
These five innocents are about to stumble straight into Hell.Although The Dirty Swallow could be labelled a sequel to Suffer Hard, in that the events in this novella take place eleven years after those in Suffer Hard, it can absolutely be read as a standalone story.

How to Raise a Gentle Man: A guide for parents and carers who want to raise kind, emotionally intelligent and respectful boys
From birth we treat boys differently to girls: we hold them less, talk to them less and discipline them more harshly. Society is full of stereotyped masculinity and families often pass down inherited beliefs of what ‘manliness’ should look like.
How to Raise a Gentle Man is a book for any parent or carer who wants to break that cycle and for those who are fed up with boys being blamed for everything. Toxic masculinity doesn’t just hurt women and girls, it hurts boys too.
Sarah Ockwell-Smith, bestselling childcare expert and mother to three young men, argues that the answer to raising kind, respectful and gentle boys is not to ban social media or access to the internet, lay the blame solely at the feet of the incel movement or misogynistic influencers or to introduce reactionary Governmental education policies as a response to Netflix dramas.
The only truly effective way to help our boys is through the way we raise them.
How to Raise a Gentle Man gives step by step instructions for concerned parents and carers who want to get to the root of the problem and help boys to thrive in the manosphere. Whether you’re a parent to a newborn, a teacher to an eight year old, or raising a teenager, you’ll find plenty of advice here for you.

Doctor Who: Caught in the Web & Other Stories: Doctor Who Audio Annual
A further collection of tales from the vintage pages of Doctor Who Annual, brought to life by a host of Doctor Who voices.
The First Doctor faces The Devil Birds of Corbo when he lands the TARDIS on a swamp-infested planet, and then the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are caught in a Grip of Ice when they materialise on a glacier.
UNIT and the Brigadier call in the Third Doctor and Liz when a top secret experiment gets out of control in Caught in the Web, and The Eye Spiders of Pergross creep closer to the Fourth Doctor, Sarah and Harry when they venture to a distant planet.
The Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are troubled by rodents when they experience Winter on Mesique, and the Sixth Doctor and Peri find Edwardian England plagued by an alien in Day of the Dragon.
Maureen O’Brien, David Troughton, Jon Culshaw, Geoffrey Beevers, David Banks and Nicola Bryant read these wildly imaginative stories first published in book form between 1966 and 1985.

The Secret Garden Murders (A Yorkshire Murder Mystery Book 13)
A murder in a locked garden. A village full of secrets. Can DCI Oldroyd find a killer who has vanished into thin air?
When elderly Clarissa Morden is found strangled in the locked garden of historic Bishop Hewick Hall in Yorkshire, DCI Jim Oldroyd needs to solve a seemingly impossible murder. The only door was bolted from the inside, the kitchen garden walls are too high to climb, and there is no sign of how the killer escaped. If no one could enter or leave, how did the killer commit the crime and escape?
But as Oldroyd and his team uncover more evidence, they discover Clarissa wasn’t the kindly neighbour she appeared; a blackmailer, she was keeping coded records of the villagers’ darkest secrets. Suddenly it seems as if half the village has a motive for murder.
In this puzzling case, Oldroyd must unravel not only how the culprit vanished from a locked garden, but also which of Clarissa’s blackmail victims was driven to stop her. The tranquil beauty of Bishop Hewick conceals deadly secrets—and someone is willing to kill again to keep theirs hidden…

Enough Said
20 September. Have a notion for a radio series – Awkward Conversations.
Enough Said is Alan Bennett’s fourth collection of diaries and prose. Covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump and the death of the Queen. In between, we take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral.
2024 is the year that Alan turns ninety; he reflects on old age and the importance of luck. He looks back to childhood and recalls an idyllic wartime month as an evacuee. A book for the bedside, this is poignant, funny, contemplative Alan Bennett, as he records life both personal and political in his most distinct of voices.

Against All Odds: World Book Day 2026
A HILARIOUS WORLD BOOK DAY COMEDY FOR TEEN READERS FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF STEADY FOR THIS AND KING OF NOTHING!Noranto knows who he is. Or at least, he thinks he does.
Footballer. Hustler. One of the boys. He’s got the playground game on lock and big plans for his mum’s surprise birthday party this weekend. But poetry? That’s just something he does quietly – in his head, on the bus, between goals.
Until his teacher spots his talent and encourages him to enter a creative writing competition. Noranto laughs it off. No chance: the deadline’s in three days and he’s already got way too much going on. His mates agree and tell him to stick to what he knows. Poetry doesn’t win matches.
But the rhymes won’t stop coming. And a little voice inside him keeps asking: What if this is his shot? What if he could do it all?
As the weekend unfolds and obstacles are thrown in his way, Noranto finds himself stuck between what’s expected of him and who he really wants to be. Can he find the words in time – and the courage to share them – against all the odds?
A funny and authentic story about the joys and challenges of dreaming big and showing the world you don’t have to fit into just one box.

plastic
Set during a single twelve-hour night shift in a factory, plastic is a book-length poem exploring the life of the industrial worker turned poet.
Bringing together memoir, ekphrasis and satire, Bplastic is based on Matthew Rice’s experience working in a plastic moulding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labour in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a ‘post-industrial’, ‘post-Troubles’ society, all while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film and the visual arts.
Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker’s experience, this is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labour – making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day, uniting what Jacques Rancière calls the ‘labourers in love with the intellectual nights’ and those ‘intellectuals in love with the toilsome and glorious days of the labouring people.’ plastic’s evocation and lucidity moves with grace through working class realities and hopeful imaginings.

The Novel of the Story of Creeping Jazz
A fantasy crime comedy, drenched in noir, nightmares, and nonsense.An unlikely team investigate a string of sinister murders. The only consistent detail? The killer wears a beret and is always accompanied by their own soundtrack—a slow, slinking tune that has been coined, The Creeping Jazz. Some say it’s cursed. Others say it’s catchy but everyone agrees it’s terrifying. The team must go up against a killer who can strike anywhere throughout time and make people dance to death.
In their way will be an unreliable narrator, a Welsh busybody, the magic of hip-hop and the horror of never having enough stationary.
For Dale Allen, a radio presenter with a low chat show survival rate, this is his breakthrough interview, with a band pushing a dangerous cultural phenomenon.
For Lead Detective Michaels, it’s the case that could finally earn him that long-overdue promotion, assuming he can survive his meeting with the notorious surgeon and serial killer, Dr Karlous Kennedious.
And for Charlie Blunderwedge, ex-erotic novelist turned reluctant consultant, it’s a chance to move away from writing naughty titivation and enter the big league of police procedure true crime fiction.
Somewhere in the fogbound city, the truth waits in the shadows—wearing a beret and humming a tune that makes your bones itch.
Unravel the mystery and try not to dance to The Creeping Jazz.
