Nick Harkaway is a novelist and commentator. He is the author of the novels "The Gone-Away World," "Angelmaker" and "Tigerman"; and a non-fiction study of the digital world, "The Blind Giant: Being Human in a Digital World."
Harkaway was educated at the independent University College School in North London, and Clare College, Cambridge, where he studied philosophy, sociology and politics and took up Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu. He worked in the film industry before becoming an author.
"The Gone-Away World" is Harkaway's first novel. The rights were acquired by Heinemann in a seven-way auction in the summer of 2007 for a considerable advance of £300,000. At that time it went by the title, "The Wages of Gonzo Lubitsch." It concerns a number of ex-special forces operatives turned truckers who are hired to perform a dangerous mission in a post-apocalyptic world.
"Angelmaker" is Harkaway's second novel. It follows a number of characters in their adventures around a clockwork device of great power and is based largely in the United Kingdom. The action takes place around the current day, with discussions to World War II and the years following, and, unlike "The Gone-Away World," is narrated in the third person.
"The Blind Giant" is Harkaway's first work of non-fiction, dealing with the effect of digital change on society and what it means to be human. It was published by John Murray in May 2012.
