We are absolutely over the moon that M. John Harrison won the 2026 Booker Prize last night for his novel #TheEndOfEverything!
In the words of the inimitable chair of judges, Mary Beard: ‘It’s a book that turns you upside down, raises a wry smile – and surprisingly, given the subject matter, leaves you with a twinge of optimism. This is the politics of now seen through the lens of the future.’
We couldn’t be prouder of our fantastic author Mike and all his much-deserved success!

‘A delightful and moving account of our efforts to capture the truth as it speeds by’ – TIM HARFORD
Spycraft was reliant on it, courtroom dramas were changed by it, and feminism has an uneasy debt to it. But what exactly is shorthand? And what would we lose if it disappeared?
Andrew Hill follows the story from the scribes of Ancient Rome to today’s takeover of AI, revealing how a system of symbols shaped the modern world and can still offer a valuable way to record, store and recall our brightest ideas today.

Are you open to listening? Are you willing to question? Are you here to learn? Wisdom is work. But it’s worth it. It is central to a meaningful life; it gives perspective, reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it, our best qualities become our worst.
Drawing on lessons from history, and through cautionary tales, Ryan Holiday shows how to keep an open mind in times of division and disruption; to listen more than we talk; to think with nuance and ruthlessly question our own beliefs.
The final instalment in Ryan Holiday’s bestselling Stoic Virtues series, #WisdomTakesWork, is out now in paperback.

Emily Wilson fans, don’t miss out on #TheDeathOfSocrates, now Blackwell’s Non-Fiction Book of Month for November! 📚
In this incisive survey of philosophy and politics, renowned classicist and translator Emily Wilson unravels ancient philosophy’s most enduring – and hardest – questions: why did ancient Athens execute Socrates, its leading intellectual? How do democracies deal with dissent? And can our own society allow for total freedom of speech and thought?
Who’s ready for their next Emily Wilson fix?
