ALGOSPEAK IS NOW OUT IN BOOKSTORES

oh my god it’s been a crazy week.

Algospeak is now available everywhere in the US and Canada!! We had an incredible launch at the Strand last night, and I woke up yesterday to a flurry of friends texting me that I had made the front page of the New York Times:

Not sure why they put international arms deals ahead of the real news, but you can read the whole article here. The Verge also published an excerpt of my incel chapter here and there’s a great review in the Washington Post here.

If you want to get a signed copy, please catch me at one of these events:

• BOSTON, July 16 - 7 pm Harvard Book Store (listing here)

• MENLO PARK, July 18 - 6 pm Kepler’s Books (ticketed here)

• WASHINGTON, D.C., July 25 - 7 pm conversation at the Politics & Prose Wharf Bookstore, now with meme researcher Aidan Walker! (listing here)

I want to thank every one of you for your incredible support - I especially love my substack community because you guys are uniquely familiar with my long-form writing, often making incredible suggestions and digressions in the comments.

If you’re thinking of getting a copy, buying it this week is the best possible way of supporting me. First-week sales are critical for making any bestseller lists and getting my book stocked in the front of more stores.

I promise this is the last piece of book content, and I’ll resume my regular linguistic ramblings soon. Please consider buying, and thank you all again <3
