Anna Lyndsey worked for several years as a civil servant in Whitehall until she became ill with extreme light sensitivity. She started writing in her darkened room to stop her brain exploding from boredom, and her book Girl in the Dark was published by Bloomsbury in 2015. Like many people who suffer from chronic illness, Anna Lyndsey found her physical illness frequently dismissed as “all in the mind”, despite clear evidence that it wasn’t. She has become fascinated by the way establishments of all kinds – corporate, political, scientific – react to new and emerging health conditions, and how often they reach for “psychological” labels to stigmatise sufferers and avoid uncomfortable truths. Electrosensitivity, also known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity – where people start to react to the radiofrequency signals used by"smart" wireless devices to communicate – is the most chilling modern example. The contested science around electrosensitivity and its devastating human consequences is the subject of Anna Lyndsey's new novel, Impossible People.
