What does it mean to live in an age of acceleration?
If you're a regular reader, you know that I love sharing stories and ideas that grapple with this question. Every year, I spend thousands of hours and dollars writing novels, publishing blog posts, sharing reading recommendations, interviewing big thinkers, giving interviews, delivering talks, running experiments, going on podcasts, and composing essays that explore its myriad implications.
If my work resonates with you, please consider becoming a patron so that I can do more of it.

By choosing to become a patron, you are directly financing my creative process. Thank you. Your support really matters.
