If you fancy 20 minutes of big ideas about the ocean in your evening, here's my talk at this year's Thinking Digital conference in Newcastle. It sets out some of the big ideas in Blue Machine, and there are pictures too.

It was lovely to talk about Blue Machine yesterday to a packed Books Tent at the Wilderness festival near Oxford. Places that let us all hear about new ideas and develop our thinking are so important, and it’s great to see so many festivals providing those spaces. And tent bookshops are ace! #BlueMachine #Books #Ocean

I find the formulation very nice. #science #quote #bluemachine

@helenczerski #BlueMachine book being packed for a week in Pembrokeshire #snorkellingbypublictransport - been saving it up, meanwhile delighting in #Bubbles - thanks for all you do! #FanGush

Shh, I am reading. @helenczerski -
#BlueMachine

Fabulous presentation - about to immerse immediately into the book itself @helenczerski #BlueMachine #Ri #RoyalInstitute

Blue Machine is out on Thursday, but it's also Radio 4's Book of the Week next week, starting on Monday, perfectly timed to coincide with World Ocean Day (June 8th). It's time to talk about the ocean itself - the water itself, not just the fish, dolphins & pollution - and it's a MASSIVE story. Share the ocean love! #Ocean #BlueMachine

Something I learned today: books get trailers now. Blue Machine is out next Thursday (June 1st) and here's the trailer for it.

You can also hear me talk about it at the launch book talk in London at @Ri_Science on publication day: https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/blue-machine-uncovering-oceans-power #Ocean #BlueMachine Do join us!

@helenczerski
I have it on order with Chorlton Bookshop.
Looking forward to it arriving.

Physical copies have arrived! Blue Machine is out on June 1st in the UK and October 3rd in the US (with a different cover design). https://linktr.ee/bluemachinebook

The story of the ocean - the water itself, not the dolphins, fish and plastic in it - is the biggest story on Earth. If you’ve ever posed the Monty Python style question “but WOT has the ocean ever done for us?”, here’s your answer. #ocean #BlueMachine

The obligatory photo of what I’m up to today: recording the audiobook of Blue Machine. It turns out that someone wrote a LOT of words. #ocean #book #BlueMachine

A lovely piece of news to share to start the weekend: Blue Machine will be BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week the week after publication (starting June 4th). https://linktr.ee/bluemachinebook Five radio snippets will be coming your way, one every day that week! #ocean #BlueMachine

@MrLee These are all the bits from my notes that didn’t make it into the book because there were more exciting things to write about. It seemed a shame not to share them! #BlueMachine

Proof copies have arrived and they are **pretty** (and this isn't the final cover - just the one that goes out to reviewers). June 1st is the UK publication date.

Earth is home to a huge story that is never told: that of our ocean - the water itself - and how this engine shapes our world. Blue Machine tells that story. https://linktr.ee/bluemachinebook #Ocean #BlueMachine #books

Anyone based on the US east coast (especially NYC and up to Boston), does anywhere near you host in-person book talks post-pandemic? Live events have changed a bit, but I'll probably be in the US to give book talks in late October/early November (US publication date is Oct 3rd), and if you know of a local science center/library/university that hosts talks and migth like to hear about the ocean, do let me know.

My next book, Blue Machine, has a cover! Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture. Blue Machine will tell that story. Out June 1st https://linktr.ee/bluemachinebook #Ocean #BlueMachine #Seas #Climate #Books

My next book, Blue Machine, will tell that story.
