It struck me today that every work of dystopian fiction I've ever read involves a future without books. Maybe that's all it takes.

I think this moment calls for fresh thinking about law, both domestically (in the US) and internationally.
So, for you legal academics: what (or whom) have you read recently that has been fresh and interesting—even changed how or what you think?

Last night, Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine's power grid. The grid is sometimes called a "dual use object," because it has both civilian and military uses. If you want to read more about dual use objects, check out this forthcoming article.
