Greetings from Read Max HQ! Every week, I pick out some worthwhile and overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. This week I’ve got:

  • A fascinatingly conceptualized novel about the final days of WWII in Germany

  • An excellent proto-“Halogencore” political thriller from the 1990s that’s back on streaming

  • A lovely trip-hop-ish, shoegaze-ish R&B album

If any of that sounds interesting -- and if you want to support Read Max in its continuing mission of explaining the future to relatively normal people -- please subscribe below. If you’re already a subscriber, thank you.

As always, we start with a dispatch from the future:
