Undertaking Utopia on The Progress Network Podcast "What could go right?" →
It was such a pleasure to have this conversation with Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas of The Progress Network. We discussed everything from the history of bipedalism to the differing strategies of individualist versus communal preppers.
Paperback pub date!
Today is the day. The softcover of Everyday Utopia is now out with a new preface and a reading group guide.

One copy of the English paperback! In a relatively small city like Erfurt, this feels like a real triumph!
Signing paperback copies of Everyday Utopia in Dublin
I was working at the National Library of Ireland and popped into a nearby bookstore, Hodges Figgis, to buy myself a new journal, and lo and behold, I spotted my book on the “factual favorites” table. The kindly staff let me sign the copies they had in stock.

The most amazing note I've ever received!
Today was the first day of classes at Penn for the spring semester and I checked my snail mail for the first time since December. I received this absolutely lovely little bird card from Margaret Atwood! I doubted it at first, but checked the signature online and realized that it’s really from her. I was over the moon!

Some more foreign media for Everyday Utopia
I got a bit of a grumpy review on the German equivalent of NPR, but a very nice shout out as the most important non-fiction book of the year on the biggest Leftist news platform in Czechia.

So pleased for this recognition
The paperback covers are here
It looks like my UK paperback of Everyday Utopia will appear in May followed by the US paperback in late July. Both presses have redesigned the covers to appeal to a broader audience, with Bodley Head in the UK completely reconceptualizing the cover and the subtitle. I like them both a lot, although they are quite different.
