Nick Harkaway

Nick Harkaway is the author of two novels, Angelmaker (Feb/Mar 2012) and The Gone-Away World (2008). He has also written about technology in The Blind Giant, which comes out in May 2012. He was born in the South West of the UK and grew up there and in London. He studied politics at Cambridge, worked in the film industry, and finally washed up on the sandy shores of the publishing industry in 2007. He likes Italian wine, Thai food, German trains, the mountains of Utah, and all things unlikely. He does not like shrimp or things which taste of shrimp because they eat shrimp. He lives in London with his wife Clare, a human rights lawyer, and his daughter Clemency, an infant.
