we are going to make the books smell like Sandalwood

also, literary fiction "for men" and "for women" is a stupid idea. I think that if you're working with that in mind you probably aren't writing/publishing literary fiction

LRT--men simply don't buy new books in meaningful numbers right now. If anything publishes OVERindexes in trying to court them, given who gets to write what. it is not the publishing industry's fault that young men don't read

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

I had an idea for a short story in which a US soldier goes to war with an AI anime waifu in his heads up display giving him constant bad advice and Warfighter bromides until it gets him killed, but I dismissed it as being a mid-season Black Mirror episode at best. HOWEVER-

I'm going to behave normally throughout

chat did we FA

every single thing we see is like "out of missiles" and "Grok is aiming the guns" and "actually we aren't at war at all"

so just checking the temperature--we're getting our ass handed to us over there right now right
