Adam Becker's book 'More Everything Forever' has really stayed with me. I expected it to puncture AI hype, Mars colonies, etc.; but new to me was their link to a cluster of troubling techbro philosophies and ethics (somewhere between sophomoric and fascist-adjacent). Recommend. https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/adam-becker/more-everything-forever/9781541619593/

More Everything Forever

This "wild and utterly engaging narrative" (Melanie Mitchell) shows why Silicon Valley’s heartless, baseless, and foolish obsessions—with escaping death,...

My gosh. I did not know what to expect from a band billed as "punk marching band" but Chicago's 'Mucca Pazza' are a delight. Imagine a super-tight group who conclude a team losing season with half on skid row and the other half gone off to join Frank Zappa (who their guitarist resembles). Then all reuniting in glorious mayhem. In other news, I now have a very impractical accordionist crush.
