America is my Roman Empire

The fascination with AI, prediction markets, etc. is a direct descendant of the ancient fascination with prophesy and oracles—and all of it originates with our mortal desire for immortality; seeing the future is the purview of gods

Save the date for MEDIUM RARE’s launch @strandbooks.com in NYC on MARCH 4 alongside two of the best writers alive @somers.bsky.social & Elizabeth Winkler After my debut events were all on Zoom in 2021, I could not be more excited for this 🏀🪽 @melvillehouse.bsky.social

Not sure what to read this year? Maybe consider the 313 books we’re most looking forward to in 2026.

Thank you @literaryhub.bsky.social! lithub.com/lit-hubs-mos...

Second piece of 2026! For @theatlantic.com, I wrote about Kay Cicellis’s brilliant, brutal short story trilogy, The Way to Colonos, which consists of three modern retellings of Sophoclean tragedies. This one is for all the Greek mythology girlies. ❤️ Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

“After her intensely smart Portrait of a Mirror, A. Natasha Joukovsky goes for another retelling, this time landing on the myth of Icarus by way of a Washington lobbying firm, college basketball and pipe dreams.” Thank you @ourculture.bsky.social! ourculturemag.com/2026/01/03/o...

Why novelists should gamble on themselves (and aim for a posthumous house museum).
