Be Not Conformed—René Girard at the Intersection of Athens, Jerusalem, and Silicon Valley—is out on April 10. It's a new volume of 17 original essays from stellar writers, including @default_friend, @justindeanlee, @anecdotal, and @ByrneHobart that I've edited over the past two years.

Read more (link in reply), and strap in.
