Hannah Silva
new writingHannah Silva is a writer and performer working in sound poetry, radio and experimental non-fiction. Her eighth BBC radio play, ‘An Artificially Intelligent Guide to Love’ was the starting point for My Child, the Algorithm (Footnote Press/Soft Skull) – one of the first books to subvert and play with AI. It weaves Silva’s questioning of love and queer single parenting into surreal and funny contributions by a predecessor of ChatGPT, and a toddler (a Granta Book of the Year 2023). Silva is working on her next book, about theft, polyamory and renting on Universal Credit in Tower Hamlets, East London.
