Reading Recap: April 2026

Good Writing by Neal Allen and Anne Lamont

Sentences are the atomic building blocks of writing. These rules will turn you into a ruthless writing chemist.

A Little Devil in America by Hanif Abdurraqib

Abdurraqib is one of my favorite writers. A Little Devil explores the history and implications of Black performance in America. As always, Hanif blends in his own personal narrative.

Technofeudalism by Yannis Varoufakis

Did Big Tech’s consolidation in the cloud kill capitalism? Varoufakis charts the development of technical fiefdoms and how they fundamentally change the marker realities we face.

Justice by Michael Sandel

Justice offers a concise but through review of the different philosophies on what makes a good society. It doesn’t shy away from challenging issues. I left with language and theories that help me understand my intrinsic sense of what’s right and just.

The Means of Prediction by Maximilian Kasy

This is the best general audience AI book I have read. It treats the audience with respect and explains critical details about how the tech works. You are smart enough to understand the details.
