On surveillance, imagination, and staying human

—
—An interview with John Hunt

John Hunt's new novel, 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘰𝘥 (Painted Dog Press, 2026), is a taut and wry satire on conformity and the cost of reducing the human mind to data.

Written by Painted Dog Press

The story follows a man whose life is upended when a tiny piece of data is misinterpreted by the Ministry of Structured Thinking. At the heart of the novel the question, when reality becomes unbearable, can imagination, humour and hope offer a way out?
