Tom is a writer and researcher. His work is generally concerned with ideas that might dramatically improve the lot of humanity.
One way we can improve our lot is by ensuring we don’t accidentally inflict Armageddon on ourselves. Tom is therefore writing a book about humanity’s attempts to stave off catastrophe. He maintains that he finds this work uplifting.
In another life, Tom was a staff journalist at a British broadsheet. Since then, he has worked as a writer and researcher for several organisations that seek to accelerate innovation and to reduce the dangers posed to humanity.
Tom’s book has been bought by a major publisher. He is writing it in Berkeley, California, but spends most of his time in London. His name, since you’ve got this far, Ough is pronounced “Oh”, as in “Oh! I must pre-order Tom’s book as soon as possible.”
