Thank you.
What personal updates and upcoming events does Cory Doctorow share at the start of the episode?
Well, hello and welcome to a Cory Doctorow podcast. It is Sunday and I'm at my desk in Los Angeles. Not a thing that happens very often. Almost didn't happen today because we went to the Rose Bowl flea market this morning and spent quite a long time there because it was a particularly good day and my birthday is coming up. So my wife got me some nice things, including a genuinely apocalyptic clown oil painting with a clown looming over the a kind of blazing cityscape. It's really something. It's in my Flickr feed. You got to have a look. Anyway, that plus a morning spent tidying up after a big dinner party last night, barbecue in the backyard, means that I got off to a late start. But here I am at my desk recording for you.
And if you are in Los Angeles like me, well, then on 19th of June, you can see me at Skylight Books with Brian Merchant to talk about my new book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI. And on the 21st of June, I will be in Menlo Park at Kepler's with Angie Coyro, also talking about The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI. The 23rd of June sees me in Toronto for an afternoon panel at the IAB State of the Nation Conference called the Sovereignty Debate. And then in the evening, very limited tickets. Go and get yours now. I'm going to be at Osler Records at an event hosted by Typebooks on June the 23rd in Toronto. I will be in New York on June the 24th at the Strand Bookstore with Jonathan Colton.
And on the 25th, I will be in Philadelphia with David Williams at the Filter Club, hosted by the Philadelphia Citizen. June the 26th sees me in Chicago with the amazing Rick Perlstein at Exile and Bookville. And then I'm back overseas on August the 17th. You can get me at the Edinburgh Book Festival. I'm doing a solo talk and a panel with Jimmy Wales. On October the 6th, I'll be at Notre Dame for an event called called An Evening with Cory Doctorow. And there are much more events coming up, but I will have to keep you apprised of those as they emerge. So today is the day that I finish the copy edits on my next book. Well, not my next book. The book after my next book. Well, not that either. The book after
The book that I've got coming out, The Reverse Centaur, is the graphic novel of Enschedification, which will be January. And the book after that is the graphic novel of Unauthorized Bread, which is April. But the book after that, August 2027, is my geopolitics book, The Post-American Internet. And today is the day I finish copy edits on that. Tomorrow, I start the big structural edits. I think it's probably about two days' worth of those. And then I will have that second draft in to my editor. That will be very exciting and also nice to get that off my plate before the book tour starts. That has been my goal and why I've been breaking all land speed records and also missing sleep to get these edits done.
We have a really full house this week. My daughter Posey is back from school. She's about to go on her summer vacation. She grew up with a kid from Thailand. And she's going to go and stay with that kid's family for a couple of weeks before going to Toronto to work for my brother at his hockey camp and then coming to stay with us in London. But for a couple of weeks, we have her here in Los Angeles. It's so nice to have her back in residence, as it were, with all the stuff she's cleared out of her dorm room at Santa Cruz. She is going back in the fall and has rented a house. And so this might be the last time all that stuff comes back. This might be a one-time repatriation. And so without further ado, because I do have all these other things to get on with, I've got to have my swim and make the graphic for tomorrow's blog post and finish those edits on the post-American internet.
I'm going to go right into today's reading. And today's reading is one of my blog posts for my pluralistic.net newsletter. So then without further ado or foofaraw, here from the 11th of June edition of pluralistic.net is The World Has Moved On.
The world has moved on.
