Foundation

Isaac Asimov
Abraham Josephine “Josie” RiesmanAbraham Josephine “Josie” Riesman

In his opening lecture, he said he liked economics because it was the real-world version of Isaac Asimov’s (fictional!!) concept of “psychohistory” (which the Foundation novels make clear is a bad thing!!!!!)

Operation Shylock: A Confession (PEN/Faulkner Award)

Philip Roth
Abraham Josephine “Josie” RiesmanAbraham Josephine “Josie” Riesman

Though I have my problems with Philip Roth, OPERATION SHYLOCK remains the final word on the ideas and emotions that wrack Israel, and the Palestinians. I’m glad I read it _after_ I’d already been delusional enough to think I had anything new to say about Zionism and occupation

Fredric Wertham

“Either they fantasy themselves as supermen, with the attendant prejudices against the submen, or it makes them submissive and receptive to the blandishments of strong men who will solve all their social problems for them — by force.” — Fredric Wertham, SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT

Frank Miller sooooorta did a similar thing (albeit with a million historical AND scriptural errors) in his oft-forgotten 300 prequel, a few years back. It was super orientalist but also it had this completely metal moment https://t.co/9nPTBU5zPL
