How to Get a Great Idea for a Novel feat. my novel TOWARD ETERNITY, published by HarperCollins everywhere ✨🪐 US: www.harpercollins.com/products/tow... UK: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/towa...

Why do you hate flock cameras? Is it because you’re racist? Why do you hate data centers? Is it because you hate poor people? Why do you hate AI programs helping incinerate children around the world? Is it because you are a fake social justice warrior?

Yes, making the richest people in the world even richer at the cost of human knowledge, skill, and labor is the dream of all working class people everywhere. We were put on this earth to give our bodies, minds, and soul to the technologists to devour and sell it back to us. That’s liberation.

Once again a well established, renown and famous artist with nothing to lose is entranced by the slop and thus yanks the ladder up from all those below him. Not surprised, heard this before but it's still dissapointing - and we won't forget he's done this once the bubble bursts.

RIP BOZO

The only ending I could think of.

THE TRILOGY AND THE EMPIRE COMES TO AN END

People at JFK with no concept of how lines work 😑 To quote a famous New Yorker, PRETEND IT’S A CITY

It's absolutely impossible to express how much this means and how unbelievable it seems.

Signed off on final proofs for ON THE EVE OF GOODBYE by Kyung-Sook Shin, my fourth book for this author (who is also my first). A novel written in three long letters between women on the verge of saying goodbye, to the country they left behind, to friends, to life. It broke my heart on every pass.

Oh NEAT, Cat and Girl are still going strong!

EVERYONE LOOK AT THE COVER FOR!! MY WIZARD BOOK!! ✨THE APPRENTICE LIAR AND THE DEATH OF THE WORLD💫 LYING! STEALING! AND ONE MILLION GAMES OF GO FISH WITH DEATH!!!!!!! MARCH! 2! 2027!

Pathway for Haruki Murakami to win the Nobel Prize: stop writing novels (he is not great at it and at this point, he will never get better). Write only short stories (which he is excellent at). REVIVE the art form, make it so a thousand short story writers can bloom. It’s noble. It’s Nobel.

Thank you so much!!! If you’re in Boston, I am doing two events at Boston Book Fest on Saturday! (The second event is not confirmed but I’m pretty sure I’ll make it) bostonbookfest.org

Forgot I have an entire translator's note due tomorrow and it's coming out in this really irritated tone and the fact that I'm writing it in Korean doesn't help because we have jondaemal (polite form) and when you have that you can say the MEANEST THINGS as long as you use polite conjugation

Don’t mute your India news, people! Monumental protests happening right now.

Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."

So are we just not doing the WTO and FTAs now?

Also famous for making translators sign away the rights to their own translations. So they’re well on their way to not recognizing the humanity of translators, why wouldn’t they embrace the robot movement?

Now where have we seen this before I can't quite put my finger on it

I know I am about as biased as possible on this but go to an indie bookstore. An indie bookstore's vibes are the opposite of...all of this. You'll be surrounded by memories, stories, brave visions of the future that don't ignore our barbarous present. Your brain can be quiet AND full. Seriously.

Huge protests planned in India this weekend against voter suppression. All trains to Delhi have been cancelled and tens of thousands of police deployed ahead of time. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

SO good: “…we are constantly strapping in for the future, making ready each time to throw out the communities, cultural practices, and values that we have come to appreciate in their imperfections, only to be told once again that the plane must return to the gate for another unspecified checkup.”
