A bit over the moon to see The AI Mirror featured in The New Yorker today (alongside the good company of @randomwalker.bsky.social and @sayash.bsky.social)! www.newyorker.com/culture/open...

The first major review of The AI Mirror came in today from the Financial Times, and I’m really happy the reviewer engaged so fully with the narrative. www.ft.com/content/67d3...

My publisher sent me this first photo of my book as a real object in the world and I am unreasonably happy
