Amazed to note that Fahrenheit 451 was very nearly the FIRST basically new fiction they published, in their FOURTH EVER issue; in their previous three issues, most of their fiction was reprints of Sherlock Holmes stories or excerpts from the Decameron

We are very grateful that J.D. served as one of our faculty respondents at the inaugural Post45 Data Collective Grad Workshop. It was wonderful to gather with such bright young scholars and to see all the creative research they're doing with, against, and alongside cultural data.
