- Project Q is an intellectual travelogue that travels from Sydney to Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Singapore, Ann Arbor, Silicon Valley, Shanghai, New Delhi, Yerevan and elsewhere, tracking the origins, evolution and potential convergence of quantum science, technology and geopolitics. The key principles of quantum mechanics - complementarity, uncertainty, superposition, entanglement and the wave function - act as signposts for the many worlds of quantum. Project Q is a geopolitical thriller. Big Tech vies for 'quantum supremacy', whereby a quantum computer outperforms the fastest digital supercomputer. Major powers compete in a quest for 'quantum hegemony'. Universities pursue laboratory breakthroughs as governments impose - under the guise of thwarting espionage, hacking and intellectual property theft - increasingly restrictive regulations that thwart international scientific collaboration and ratchet up nationalist rivalries.

As superpowers, rising states, universities, corporations and entrepreneurs compete for in a global race for big strategic and commercial payoffs, secrecy becomes the norm and ethics the exception in the quantum race. Little attention is being paid to privacy risks, asymmetries of power and existential threats that are likely by-products of a new quantum revolution. Project Q digs into the archives, asks critical questions, and exposes the dark side of a quantum future.

- TV SeriesEach summer, a group of fields in southeast England shudder under the tracks of tanks and armoured vehicles. Warplanes fly overhead, and machine guns and artillery shoot it out in dramatic battles. This is the War and Peace Show; the largest military vehicle spectacular on the planet. Four thousand privately owned military vehicles, eighteen thousand re-enactors and exhibitors, combine with forties style dance bands and fashion shows to entertain the one hundred thousand visitors. Staging such a huge and complex event needs an army in its own right - an eclectic mix of personalities that make up the organising team. They stem from wildly different backgrounds, and their larger-than-life personalities create strong friendly rivalries, a no-nonsense approach, and an even stronger team spirit. It's an exciting, adrenalin filled challenge, and for the first time television cameras have been given unprecedented access behind the scenes from beginning to end. The six-part series is with the organisers every step of the way, taking you into the battles, backstage with the bands and celebrities, and on board giant military trucks as they race each other. We'll see how pyrotechnics are laid, and huge 'Living History' recreations are constructed. And we'll be with the tireless team as they battle around the clock to deal with emergencies, dramas, and keep the show running. Welcome to the World of War and Peace!
