The Glory of the Boomers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Generational resentment is a stupid thing and, not surprisingly, a modern thing. The French have a saying, “Grandfathers are always wrong.” But I learned this quote from Oscar Wilde, who was always frivolous, even when he was right. In particular, grandfathers are always wrong about things that have no intrinsic importance, like fashion. But historically, they are always right (if they’ve lived long enough to be giving your advice) about things of importance. “Never eat that thing you found on t

I was out shopping the other day when it struck me how cheap used books are nowadays. Even in nominal terms, used paperbacks are cheaper than when I was young…when five dollars could buy you a whole sandwich, or maybe a six-pack of Hamm’s. Now a five-dollar bill is barely worth wiping your nose with everywhere but the bookstore.I rarely buy new books, but recently purchased a troika: Know Thy Enemy by Fr.

Babbitt and the Parasocial Zenith (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve fallen behind in my task of reviewing Sinclair Lewis’s fine novels of the 1920s, which won him the Nobel Prize.

Quietly in the news this week: On January 9, 2026, a Chinese neck-tattoo’d woman loses custody of illegitimate child to father. Why? Because she’s been threatening to kill the child and herself owing to the stress of custody proceedings. An order goes out. Before the father can pick up the child, the Chinese woman puts sleeping tablets in the 18-month-old’s bottle, and now he is with God. Mother tries to kill herself, unsuccessfully. She is charged with Second-Degree Murder. Though both father a
HAL 9000 and the Technocracy (opens the original)

It struck me, the last time watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, that Dave Bowman, and the human race in general, is the villain of the movie. These benevolent aliens go through the hard work of setting up a monolith on the Planet Earth, they get some apes to make tools, the tools make their way up to space, the most perfect tool, HAL 9000, is well on his way to making contact with the lifegiving entities—and then some lousy, prideful, malevalent human gets in poor HAL’s way. This poor dolt is given
