About Hypertextual
Hypertextual starts with a strange fact, an overlooked detail, or a number that shouldn’t make sense. From there, I ask: what’s really going on?
I write about climate, AI, space, energy, cities, and whatever else helps explain how the world works today. Expect clear explanations based on real evidence, plus the occasional detour when a fact leads somewhere interesting.
About me
I’m Elia Kabanov, a London-based science writer and editor. For more than twenty years, I’ve written about mammoths in Siberia, new energy sources in Wales, and climate change affecting fishermen in Maine. My work and expert comments have appeared in the BBC, The New York Times, Grist, Mother Jones, Slate, Le Monde, and elsewhere. I like tracing ideas across centuries, from ancient engineering to generative AI, and showing how they shape the world we live in now.
