(Biography provided courtesy from George's website):

I am a scientist, researcher, activist and author of The Unhappiness Machine, In The Grip of Necrocapitalism, Beyond The Petri Dish, Frankenpolitics and many other titles exploring the broader context behind civilisational collapse and humanity’s inevitable self-destruction. Because of my background and experience I tend to approach this topic through multiple lenses drawing parallels between biology, ecology, anthropology, philosophy, cognitive psychology and economics.

Holding degrees in molecular biology, chemistry, food science and a concentration on Earth sciences, my career for the first 20 years focused on social research, data analytics, consumer marketing and the evil world of advertising optimisation. I worked for some of the world’s biggest multinational corporations where I became an expert in brand strategy and consumer marketing, gaining a deep understanding of the inner workings of some of the most profit-driven and exploitative forces in human society.

After two decades in this business and suffering the impact of working in this toxic industry myself, I ultimately realized that my interest had always been in ecology and humanity’s broken relationship with nature. I have removed myself from this world in order to both take care of myself and focus on my mission to expose the tragic failures of civilisation which repeat like clockwork throughout our history.

Over the years I have appeared on Radio Ecoshock, Extinctionati, Collapse Chronicles, Regeneration Journal, Post-Doom Conversations, ViceVersa, Activism Is Medicine, Radically Human, Black Bear News, Environmental Coffeehouse, Poetry of Predicament, Naked Capitalism, No Escape and other outlets exploring the environmental and civilisational polycrisis.

I divide my time between the UK, US and Greece where I tend to a conservation garden created around a 2.500 year-old Ancient Greek fortification structure. You can monitor the garden’s progress on Instagram: the_unlikely_garden
