I'm love with this Miles Klee essay at WIRED, begging that we "please let the internet die," bouncing off my book, The Internet Will Die, and So Will You—which he calls, flatteringly, a "discerning treatise" with an "absolutist title." I feel deeply seen.

My book was just talked about next to Annie Dillard (who sadly passed recently). She is an absolute icon, and I wish I could write *more* like her.

Here's my book: bookshop.org/p/books/the-in…

The first review of THE INTERNET WILL DIE, AND SO WILL YOU is out: "His wide-ranging meditations, which touch on everything from Bach to TikTok, will appeal to readers who want to search for meaning rather than scroll for distraction."

As the pandemic dragged on, I (a little self-consciously) read the Psalms. I was raising a baby, so each seemed to say something about that quotidian miracle when we make families out of only feelings and time.

I'm pumped to say that turned into THE PSALMIST, out in January.
