Feeling lucky? Pick any number between 1 and 74, then scroll down and you’ve got your next read. — 1. Sum: Forty tales from the afterlives, by @davideagleman. 40 clever, funny, thought-provoking short stories on what life after death could look like. Loved the breadth of imagination. 2. How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and @dziblatt. An excellent dissection of the mechanisms that turn democracies into autocracies. A chilling read in the wake of the Trump presidency.
