My first collection of satires. First published in March 2025 by AN Editions (hardback), it sold two print runs in two months and is available in paperback from 20 November 2025.

“In these brilliant satires, J.W. Wood’s dry sense of humour illuminates the darker corners of our digital world.”

– James Melville, activist, entrepreneur and founder of “No Farmers, No Food.”

“A delight from start to finish … J.W. Wood is a literary force to be reckoned with.”

– Paul Groves, two-time winner of the TLS International Poetry Prize, author of A Country Boy

“J.W. Wood’s stories evince a gift for the quotidian, employing brilliant conceits and mischevious turns of phrase which enrich the writing at every point. Capturing the frustration of curtailed lives and the grim horrors of the corporate world, Wood presents a meta-fictional universe in which the rich realise their folly and we control computers, not the other way round.”

– Julian Stannard, award-winning poet and author of The University of Bliss (Sagging Meniscus Press, USA, 2024)

“Captcha This! pulls off a coup in eviscerating the system while not being vicious or cruel to any single person or group.”

– Paul Halas, author of The Rights of Man and Fish
