Reading List: Huxley's Take on a Repressed Seventeenth-Century French Town

My darlings, here’s what I am reading this weekend:

  • Since I just recently re-read Brave New World, I’m continuing my Aldous Huxley kick with his 1953 non-fiction novel The Devils of Loudon, a look at sexual repression and mass hysteria in seventeenth-century France.

  • As Google employees are doxxed before a now-canceled company town hall, Nick Wingfield explains how The Culture Wars Have Come to Silicon Valley.

  • And on the same topic, in the New Yorker Anna Wiener wrote How Silicon Valley’s Workplace Culture Produced James Damore’s Google Memo.

  • Rolling Stone’s Bob Dreyfuss did a deep dive on the man who proves that even white supremacists fail up: Sebastian Gorka, the West Wing's Phony Foreign-Policy Guru.

Take care of yourselves this weekend, my loves.
