John Higgs

John Higgs is a British author whose eclectic, thought-provoking non-fiction explores culture, counterculture, and the hidden connections between ideas. He has written about subjects ranging from psychedelia to the monarchy, from William Blake to Doctor Who, always finding unexpected angles and surprising connections. Higgs's books include The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds, Stranger Than We Can Imagine: Making Sense of the Twentieth Century, William Blake vs the World, and Love and Let Die: Bond, The Beatles, and the British Psyche. Exterminate/Regenerate: The Story of Doctor Who explores the cultural significance of the long-running BBC science fiction series and its unique place in British life. His writing is characterised by intellectual playfulness, lateral thinking, and an ability to make connections between things you'd never expect to find related. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers wildly original non-fiction that makes you see familiar subjects in completely new ways — books where the journey of ideas is always more interesting than any single destination.
