About

George has trained in the sciences (molecular biology, chemistry, food science, Earth sciences). He has worked in data analytics and marketing sciences for some of the world’s biggest corporations, experiencing first-hand some of the most profit-driven and exploitative forces in human society. After two decades in this business, he ultimately realized that his interest had always been in ecology and humanity’s broken relationship with nature, as well as with itself. He has written fiction, non-fiction and poetry, always around the theme of civilisational collapse and humanity’s inevitable self-destruction. Approaching this existential topic with curiosity, George is not afraid to switch between lenses: biology, ecology, anthropology, philosophy, cognitive psychology and economics, all become important angles in dissecting our polycrisis in order to piece together a diagnostic picture.
