Instead of buying our books on Amazon India (where they're often marked up over MRP, because it's impossible to communicate with anyone at Amazon and their logistics are a mess), try buying from our website! Or from your local indie bookstore! No shipping w/in India!

My hunch is that that "de-extinction" lab codified and zhuzh-ed up what dog breeders have been doing for hundreds of years

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
