If you like Douglas Adams and Voltaire, this may be the perfect book for you. Alex's novel is funny and sharp, the best of all possible books.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Time for a Dad story. We pulled off the very first Flights of Foundry with like, five weeks of planning, donated tech, & a whole lot of logistics. And as we came down to the last week I was getting frantic. I talked to my dad a couple times a week, and on that weekly call he said "Honey, what's up?"
