More of what I'm reading about Silicon Valley Bank, Cool Old Michelle Yeoh movies, and more

Roundup 03/12/2023

Greetings from Read Max HQ! Every week, sometimes on Fridays, sometimes on Sundays, and sometimes … on another day, I pick out some worthwhile and often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. This week I’ve got:

• More of what I’m reading about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

• A cool meta Michelle Yeoh movie that isn’t Everything Everywhere All at Once (plus some other old-school Yeoh recs)

• A fun collection of women video game-soundtrack composers

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. Subscribers get access to these weekly emails and to the comprehensive Read Max Master Lists of Good Movies to Watch and Good Books to Read. If you’re already a subscriber, thank you.
