John Higgs

John Higgs is a British author who explores overlooked narratives in history and culture, often challenging conventional perspectives. His work frequently delves into countercultural figures and movements that exist outside mainstream viewpoints. Among his most recognized books is The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds, which examines the intersection of pop music and radical art, and Stranger Than We Can Imagine: Making Sense of the Twentieth Century, which offers an alternative perspective on the complexities of the 20th century. His latest book, William Blake vs The World, investigates Blake’s visionary ideas while linking them to contemporary discussions in neurobiology, quantum physics, and comparative religion. Beyond writing, Higgs is an active public speaker, having appeared at events hosted by institutions such as Tate Britain and the British Library. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked in television animation, created a BBC Radio 4 quiz show, and was involved in video game production.
