"Any comfort and safety in our present consumer culture is amazingly fragile, we realize, and can be shattered with a few little glitches."
I wrote about 'The Chair Company' and how nothing works the way it's supposed to anymore:
'The Chair Company' Is a Masterful Thriller for the Age of Enshittification
'The Chair Company' starring Tim Robinson centers on a man whose life is falling apart through phone calls, emails, and other tech-led glitches.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

"While I love creating new memories foremost, I equally love reminiscing on old memories. I attribute this to being a personal essayist and memoirist because ultimately, memory (or “remember when”-ing) is what informs my writing."
Is “remember when” the lowest form of writing?
