Josef Hammer writes literary dystopias and narrative nonfiction about censorship, power, and the stubborn will to resist. Exiled at eighteen, he examines how institutions erase memory and language—and how people refuse erasure. For readers of George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, and Caroline Criado Perez. The Ghost Tongue — a psychological censorship-era dystopia. In a near-future state that turns language into data and silence into policy, one person’s refusal to forget becomes an act of civil defiance. A literary dystopian novel for readers who seek dystopian resistance fiction with psychological depth and social commentary. Caging Honour — narrative nonfiction on honour-based violence and community reform. Drawing on reportage and survivor testimony, this book maps the systems that enable abuse and the organisers, advocates, and families working to dismantle them—an evidence-led exploration of gendered violence, complicity, and accountability. Recurring themes: state control and memory, coercion and consent, exile, identity, and belonging.
