AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AIโ€™s enduring impacts is to make people feel like theyโ€™re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

I've asked around and it's clear the best way to close out Prime Days is by stopping by your local bookstore and getting a recommendation from a bookseller who (most likely) doesn't provide tech to ICE or bully municipal governments into giving them tax breaks.

This Prime Day (& every day):

โžก๏ธ Support the small businesses making a positive difference

โžก๏ธ Get book recs from people who actually readโ€”not algorithms

โžก๏ธ Visit your indie, immerse yourself in books, maybe chat with real people, & leave feeling happy

โžก๏ธ Support your indie with audiobook purchases

Copies of The Queen of Swords and Fox displayed on a scarf adorned with foxes.
The Queen of Swords from Two Lines is one of my favorite books of 2025. Out in November.
Fox from Open Letter is one if my all time favorite/I'd take it to a desert island books.

Last night a number of small presses including @twolinespress.bsky.social and @openletterbooks.bsky.social received this insane letter.
Please read small press books, recommend them, buy them, request from your library. The continuation of these publishers is vital!

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we donโ€™t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please donโ€™t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything weโ€™ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Publisher stands behind ex-Facebook employee's book, rebuffing Meta Publishing house Macmillan said it was committed to standing behind the memoir, โ€œCareless People,โ€ by former Facebook employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Meta is doing a fantastic job promoting this book they donโ€™t want anyone to read. Just ordered more for the store.

The Mystery of Food Deserts They didnโ€™t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

1. The conventional explanation for food desertsโ€”that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining โ€” fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didnโ€™t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

Books.

When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.

Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.
