If the result is not a renaissance and a resurgence of reading, but less reading, that will be dreadful because the experience of thinking your way into other people's minds that sustained reading offers is is so crucial to human empathy a broadening of your own sensibilities of what's possible, what's in the full range of being human, and then what's best.

Well, audiobooks are definitely not to be scorned because, as people have pointed out, the original traditions of literature were oral, right? So that's actually the 1.0 version, right? And combining these things is probably the key. I think one of the things I find so wonderful about

The very fact that history is full of so many stories of amazing endurance, amazing resilience, the will to build up even after the horrors have passed, this to me is an inexhaustible source of optimism. And, you know, there are some people who condemn cultural appropriation and say that borrowing from one culture to another is to be condemned.

Trade, transfer of ideas, influences, valuing that which is unlike your own culture is also a form of appropriation, quite literally. And so that multitude of human reactions and the fact that our experience is so unlimited, as history testifies, gives me great hope for the future.
