It's an honor to have GREAT DISASTERS (out this month from @Tin_House !) included in the Chicago Tribune's Fall Book Preview ❤️

Set in Chicago in the wake of 9/11, the book follows six friends as they navigate changing relationships to the country and one another. ✨

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

Cambridge University Press calls for Meta to pay for the pirated books they've used for AI training.

"It’s essential that governments and authorities do not let big tech companies get away with taking authors’ work without permission. This reinforces the risks of inadequate regulation and legislation around AI and copyright, such as the ‘opt-out’ system proposed in the UK."
