Read Max Roundup 6/12/2022
'Internet for the People,' 'You Can Live Forever,' Elon Musk is a bad poster
Happy Sunday from the weekend team at Read Max, and a warm thank you to paying subscribers, who are surely the most intelligent and discerning browsers on the world wide web. If you missed it, this week’s free column was about a new book called Speculative Communities, and how the framework it provides can help us understand social media and web3:
What follows now is a newsletter of music, movies, and reading recommendations for paying subscribers. This week’s roundup includes a great new book about the intenet, a terrific new movie about Canadian Jehovah’s Witnesses, and some bussin (??) new music. If you’re not already paying to subscribe, click below and [extremely mirror-shades voice] I’ll show you how far the rabbit hole goes.
P.S. I’m experimenting with affiliate links: If you buy books from this newsletter I’ll receive a little cut. It’s just an experiment for now; if it bugs you, let me know!
