I spent a lot of time watching Westworld's second season thinking about William Gibson's genre-creating novel. If you want a story about discovering humanity inside a machine — told at a crackling pace and heaped with exquisite details — this is your book. A must read or a must revisit, now more than ever.
No book could be more telling at this moment in history. Long before Trump became a cartoon dictator, Neal Gabler was charting America's long obsession with style over substance, and how it has changed our politics (and our culture) for the worse.
The Face is the magazine that made me fall in love with magazines (and journalism, by proxy). This telling of its arc, from punky startup to worldwide phenom is both revealing and heartbreaking. Also, it looks good as hell.
A ridiculously entertaining and thought-provoking exploration of "time travel," both technically and philosophically. Just awesome.
