Jane McConnell

You were so good in how you explained things - your own thoughts and what is happening in the world. Thank you for such an stimulating conversation.

[To be clear, I also love and am extremely proud that HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS gets shelved alongside books in so many fields that are nominally distinct but which are actually,of course, relevant and connected.]

I discovered early that it’s usually impossible for me to even find HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS in a store without help, so there is zero secrecy and many delightful conversations with booksellers — every part of the interaction is lovely, and leaving them with signed books is such a win for everyone.

Want to Rethink Reality? Start With Sci-Fi

In my conversation with Jillian Reilly, she reframed sci-fi as a serious tool for breaking mental limits, a permission slip to think beyond the default, and dreaming up new worlds when the old ones stop working.
