Today, the postman delivered a box containing proof copies of the US edition of City: A Guidebook for the Urban Age (Bloomsbury Press). It’s a really great feeling, after so many months and years of work, to finally have a bound copy in your hands — even an uncorrected black & white proof…
The full-colour hardback of City is due in shops in May (UK) and June (US).
I’m the author of four books. The most recent is City: A Guidebook for the Urban Age. Before that I wrote a cultural history of science and superweapons called Doomsday Men, a biography of Einstein, and a study of science and literature. More

Today, for the first time in history more than half the population of the planet live in cities. Two hundred years ago, just three per cent were city dwellers, but by 2050, 75 per cent will be urbanites. City is the ultimate guidebook for our urban age, taking the reader on a journey through the past, present and future of the world's cities. Illustrated throughout and with essays on everything from Ellis Island and Eco-cities, to Street Food and Tahrir Square, this is a fascinating celebration of our greatest creation – the city. More
