James Wood, Serious noticing. Some good stuff in here, but ultimately not engaging. Anton Howes, Arts and Minds. I’ve really enjoyed Howes’s Substack and Twitter about the history of invention and innovation. But I put this one down—I just couldn’t make myself care that much about the inside baseball of the Royal Society of Arts. John Scalzi, The Last Emporox. The conclusion of The Interdependency series. A vintage Scalzi space midwestern.
