Omar El Akkad: One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (2025, Knopf Publishing Group)

Not enough stars, really. Superbly written, sharp, humane, haunting, poetic, beautiful, genre-defying. I kept going back and re-reading portions just to spend more time with it.

Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson: Abundance (2025, Simon & Schuster)

Surprisingly superficial for something so researched

Giving this 3 stars instead of 2 because reading it seems useful to keep abreast of The Discourse, and it was a reasonably quick read (I reserve 1 star for "didn't want to waste time to finish this").

Despite all the footnotes and references, this book has the superficial vibe of the early Internet "Let's make more Progress with Technology and then we will have Luxury for Everyone!" manifestos, but applied more broadly to also housing, energy production and some nebulous "innovation". It's hard to take seriously as a stance in 2025.

I hope it spurs more conversation and deeper thinking about these themes, but I fear its lack of thoughtfulness about trade-offs might take us in an even worse direction.
