So it used to be all in person. And now one of the benefits of the kind of post pandemic, like, well, frequently in person. But I happen to be in Rome this time and it's just not convenient for me to come back. I'll Zoom. And so it's kind of a mixture, but with more in person. OK, so you've written another book.

It doesn't make sense, I don't think, almost anymore for anyone to only write a book. But it still does make sense to write books. And the reason why you write a book is because you want to think through something deeply. The process of you writing it, you're thinking about it, you're circulating it to your friends and critics and getting them to challenge you.

And you're thinking about why it is I hold this particular view very deeply. And then let me elaborate it in terms of the detail of the argument. And some people, small number of people, really like reading books. So like, okay, if you're going to go write the book to think through it, then also produce it and kind of have it available. Yeah, why not?

One of my fun book blurbs on the super agency book is Yuval Harari, who was basically like great, compelling future of AI and humanity. I disagree with some of the main arguments, but you should read it. And I hope he's right. Decide for yourself. And that's why you do a book. So the people who are wrestling with what is truth here can engage with you in some depth.

But what you should really do is podcasts and social media and a bunch of other things because that's where millions of people are actually going to engage with what you're doing. So you shouldn't just do a book. If I had to do one, I'd do this, not the book. But the book is the thinking to get ready for all the conversation.
