Editor’s note British journalist who writes popular non-fiction built around interviews with researchers: Chasing the Scream (2015) on the war on drugs, partly adapted as the film The United States vs. Billie Holiday; Lost Connections (2018) on the social causes of depression and anxiety; Stolen Focus (2022) on why it has become so hard to pay attention; Magic Pill (2024) on the new weight-loss drugs. In 2011 he admitted presenting quotes from other sources as if they had been said to him in interviews, and returned his Orwell Prize. Start with Stolen Focus.
