Loved this chat @beyondzero.bsky.social, in particular @danieldaviswood.bsky.social’s top 5 (Heti/Pawson/Lutz/Biles/N Turner if you want a shortcut!)

Good thread on that thing everyone’s raging about
What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companies—who secure £Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of culture—is mainly what it says about capital’s engagement with books

“The world betrays everyone—the key is how we react to that. ... We fight our temperaments for decades and maybe we don’t let go until it’s in our interest, but what if our interests become passionless?” — @greggerkesocrates.bsky.social in Q&A Mark de Silva: markdesilva.substack.com/p/souls-of-g...

I'd be interested to hear about the best book you read during 2024 that you have not seen widely reviewed or praised, that has gone under the radar. A work that deserves more attention.

Newspapers and mags have their end of year round ups coming out and they rarely surprise.

Please surprise me.

One of my favorite online literary contexts, always beautifully and invisibly curated
I'd usually leave this until year's end, but now seems like a good time for it. So here's a look back at short fiction at 3:AM in 2024: one shout-out per day until they're done, with notes on why I went for each piece. First up, J. Billings' 'Automatism': danieldaviswood.substack.com/p/3am-fictio...

An influx of mutuals from that other site on here feels like a freshening breeze. Hopefully more will follow. For sure the old place is beyond hope now. Might as well give this one a go.
