Greetings from Read Max HQ! Every week, usually on Sundays, but, for the last few weeks, due to scheduling difficulties and/or incompetencies, on Monday, I pick out some worthwhile and overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. This week I’ve got:

A great newsletter about Chinese digital culture
An overlooked James Bond classic
A terrific new album of pure ‘80s college rock

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:
