NEW BOOK NEWS: I am writing my third book for @VikingBooks — a cultural history of the 21st century — to be published in late 2025. It will bring the narrative storytelling of Ametora together with the theory of Status and Culture to explain what happened over the last 25 years.
@BLKBRD_Spyplane I agree. Feels like an issue of scale that comes from social media. So much information so fast, things can only be gas mid or cringe in order to keep the feed moving. Stuff like Hokusai’s Great Wave [which I love 😂] doesn’t fit that framework and it’s awkward when people try.
