The Goddess and I have closed down the Winter Sanity Shack and are meandering north toward reality…so it’ll be a couple of days before a full-fledged Clause will appear, unless something drastic happens.
In the meantime, John Ellis and I—mostly John—did an absolutely essential two-part podcast with the author Nicole Perlroth, author of "This is How They Tell Me The World Ends: The Cyber-Weapons Arms Race." The amazing thing about Perlroth is not that she knows a lot, but that she can explain the history of cyberwarfare in a way that even I can understand—and I am furiously resistant to technological information. She speaks plain and clear. Amazing.
Part 2:
Later this week, I’ll be publishing the Winter edition of My Book Pages—books I read the past few months in the tropics—and another Night Owls, this with Jane Perlez, who is about to drop a great new series about life in China…And soon, I promise, an actual proposal for what we need to do to re-establish a sense of dignity and optimism in America (Hint: It won’t be easy, but it is doable.)
Very interesting conversation, thank you. I have put Perlroth's book on my list of books-to-read.
