I was one of the backers of this, and have had it for a couple weeks. The product is of extremely high quality and it's really fun. Happy to answer any questions.

Hmm. > My opuscula do not aim at changing people or making them go out and do something. They are written for warm-blooded heterosexuals in railway trains, airplanes and beds. This is a bit of a turn-off. Sounds like a modern day conser

How do you go about asking it a question like this? I would like to ask it for recommendations in other genres LOL.

These random detours into climate-related topics are insanely disruptive of an otherwise interesting essay. I absolutely hate this pattern. I see what he's trying to do - you don't want to read about climate change but you want to
