It was fun to write.

They're amazing characters, they're amazing stories, they're amazing movements, amazing breadcrumbs that, again, make a lot of sense in terms of today.

You look at the past and you're like, oh, that seems familiar.

I can draw a direct line from this thing that happened to where we got to today.

So I think that this story matters more than ever.

Even though it's a history book, it's

It's very much about this moment.

How do we get here and how do we get out of it?

If you can pre-order this book, it is hugely helpful.

Get some on the bestseller list.

Look, if you're going to buy this book when it comes out,

God bless you and I thank you.

But it's not just the bestsellers.

It's like that way they're like, oh, we better print some more of these or get these in the bookshops, right?

You can help launch this book so that it gets kind of up into the orbit in an attention economy where books have a hard time breaking through.

I'm going to be talking about it from time to time.

I may even like delve into the Substackverse.

Oh, yeah.

to share thoughts on this, but also like other things that I think are going on in the country, things maybe we don't get to talk about in this podcast about where the hell America is going and how we got here.

So please keep your eye out.
