Naomi Alderman holds degrees in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, Classical Studies, Creative Writing, and Classics. She is an award-winning novelist, broadcaster, TV producer, and video game creator. With over 20 years of experience in technology startups, she reflects on her early utopian beliefs about “making the world a better place” with a sense of slight embarrassment at her past naivety.

Her bestselling novel, The Power, has received multiple awards and was selected as a book of the year by Bill Gates and Barack Obama. It has also been adapted into a television series for Amazon Prime. Her other published works include The Future, The Liars’ Gospel, The Lessons, and Disobedience.

Alderman is also the co-creator of Zombies, Run!, a fitness game and audio adventure with over ten million players. She writes and presents Human Intelligence, a history of thinking series on BBC Radio 4.
