Welcome back folks, and hallo, new readers,

Here’s a brief, extra newsletter this month, to share my review of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s THE BRIDE! The essay was just published on the University of California Press blog. I had such fun watching this movie, and I hope you do, too.

I’m now looking ahead to the paperback publication of HUMANS on March 17th (also available in hardback, in ebook and audiobook forms, and in Chinese [traditional characters]). If you know a science or history nerd who might like a copy, or an educator, young person, or policy maker, please consider telling them about the book - or perhaps buying a copy or two for your emergency present drawer, or even one for yourself!

In the meantime I’m facing down an avalanche of digitized receipts to label, throw into a spreadsheet, and convert into a single currency. Nothing else has to be done this week so maybe I can achieve exit velocity from things that are simultaneously boring, lengthy, mundane, and alarming by this time next week?
