What does it mean to live in a world that punishes distraction, but profits from our attention?Why do so many ADHD individuals not feel at home at school or in the workplace? What does it really feel like to grow up, learn, work and exist in a world that wasn't built for your brain?Why are so many of us struggling with shame, burnout and - statistically speaking - a suspicious number of parking tickets?Attention Seeker is a groundbreaking, unfiltered exploration of ADHD - how it shapes lives across race, gender, and class, and why so many people are left undiagnosed and misunderstood.Drawing on research, lived experience and the realities of navigating ADHD in the UK today, Medland cuts through the myths and misinformation to uncover the truth. From education to employment, addiction to the criminal justice system, Attention Seeker reveals how ADHD intersects with power, privilege and oppression - and what needs to change.Ending with a bold anti-capitalist manifesto, Medland challenges everything we think we know about ADHD. The book asks: in a society obsessed with productivity and perfection, what can everyone learn from those who think differently?Attention Seeker is the first book of its kind. Equal parts eye-opening, urgent and authoritative, this is a call to rethink ADHD, not just as an individual diagnosis, but as a political issue.

'Smart and funny... Wild Pets is an instant set text of the emerging canon of millennial fiction.'Guardian'A wickedly funny and emotionally complex novel.'Jenny Offill, author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation'An impresive, cumulatively powerful first outing.'Daily Mail'A ripe and excellent debut... funny and smart and human and true.'Andrew O'Hagan, author of MayfliesWild Pets follows Iris, Ezra and Nance in the years after university. They fall in and out of bed with each other, reread The Art of War, grieve the closing of Fabric and write book proposals on the history of salt, while submerging their nights in drink and drugs. Confronting adulthood with high wit and low behaviour against contemporary political and social turmoil, these young men and women seem to have everything going for them. So why are they still swimming desperately against the tide?A bold, honest novel, Wild Pets is about the fragility of mental health, power imbalances in friendship and sex, and creative ambition fused with destruction - and the lingering power of first loves.
