I was on with you last week, and so not a lot of news to report in the intervening week in my life.
I am writing now.
I am working, I am touring, I just gave a talk yesterday at the Idler Festival here in London.
More of that to come, although next weekend I will be away for my birthday.
We're going to an off-grid cabin in the Hundred Acre Wood, so I won't be speaking to you then.
And yes, literally that Hundred Acre Wood.
Anyway, I have a new Locust column out this week.
It's called Hell is Other People, and it's about the solipsistic vibe that underpins AI.
And I really think that I'm on to something with this.
And so without any further ado, this is from the July 2026 issue of Locust magazine.
Hell is other people.
So this is hell.
I never believed it.
You remember all we were told about the torture chambers, the fire in Brimstone, the burning marl.
Old wives' tales.
There's no need for red-hot pokers.
Hell is other people.
Jean-Paul Sartre.
No exit.
Sartre was arguably an optimist.
