Are you a completist? You can even get this deep cut, PRETEND WE'RE DEAD: CAPITALIST MONSTERS IN AMERICAN POP CULTURE, the academic book I wrote that is based on my dissertation about how monster stories express our anxieties about capitalism in the U.S. https://t.co/xfoR0TCSgt

If you're looking for stories about how ordinary people are dealing with the heartbreak and challenges of climate change, you need this incredible book! It's gripping and prescient.

I wrote the introduction to this @mitpress reissue of the lost classic "The Clockwork Man." A cyborg escapes his virtual world and winds up in 1920s England, where he must confront feminism, progressivism, and -- gasp! -- a world without infinite hats. This book is amazing.

But also! I was deeply inspired by one of the great time travel novels of the 20th century, KINDRED by Octavia Butler. It's a gorgeous, smart, haunting novel and would make an incredible gift for the literary scifi person in your life. https://t.co/v2id9DpfMK

My latest for New Scientist, about how we need a new definition of "tech innovation" in a world threatened by climate disasters https://t.co/AyNhKUlyzP

The Dawn of Everything begins as a sharp rejoinder to sloppy cultural analysis and ends as a paean to freedoms that most of us never realized were available. Knowing that there were other ways to live, Graeber and Wengrow conclude, allows us to rethink what we might yet become.

This book blew me away. @silviamg's writing is luminous, and dirty when it needs to be. I loved seeing this classic story of monstrous colonizers relocated to the Yucatán -- and getting the perspectives of non-human animals was badass and heart-wrenching. Highly recommended.
