Trump on Renee Good: "I know her parents were big Trump fans. Makes me feel bad anyway, but I mean I guess you could say even worse. They were tremendous Trump people."

My favorite book of the year
A worthy winner. It raises a concern about modern society, explores a semi-plausible scenario (that Greer manages to make creepier than I imagined by the end), and it made me think.
📣 Did you hear that @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social now offers ebooks?
If you're looking for an excuse to check them out (like you need one) we should also flag that this year's Clarke Award winner ANNIE BOT is only 99p on their site right now!
