Keith Stuart worked as a video games journalist for over twenty years, most notably as games editor at The Guardian from 2005, where he was one of the first journalists at a major broadsheet to take games seriously as a cultural form. He drew on both his professional knowledge and his personal life to write A Boy Made of Blocks (2016), which became a Richard and Judy Book Club selection and went on to sell more than 200,000 copies.

The novel is not a video game story — it uses Minecraft as a vehicle for exploring the relationship between a father and his autistic son, and the ways technology can sometimes facilitate the emotional connections that face-to-face conversation cannot. Days of Wonder (2018), The Frequency of Us (2021), and Love is a Curse (2024) have continued his career as a novelist, each dealing with love, loss, and the particular texture of British family life.
