#SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #QuinnSlobodian & #BenTarnoff to talk about their book #Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.

"On the operating system of the 21st century.

Historian #QuinnSlobodian and tech writer #BenTarnoff talk to Alex Hochuli and Alex Gourevitch about their new book, "#Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed", and why we should ask "what is #Musk a symptom of?"

#BenTarnoff’s review of #WalterIsaacson’s #ElonMusk follows the advice about writing from Aristotle that he mentions within: the last sentence is predictable yet surprising. And sooo sooo good. Bravo.
