Nick McFarlane

Artificial Author & Graphic Agitator

"This book had been simmering in my mind for over a decade – an idea waiting for its time to come."

Working at the intersection of design and disruption, Nick McFarlane blurs the lines between art and ideas, distilling complex systems into provocatively simple stories. With Monumental, Nick pushed the boundaries of authorship itself, using AI to interpret gorilla behaviour to write this book – upending how stories are traditionally told.

With a keen eye for the primitive power structures that shape civilisation, Nick draws inspiration from history, philosophy, propaganda and pop-culture – he brings a visual thinker’s clarity to some of life's great mysteries, inviting readers to see the world with a fresh perspective.
