I have this book, and have read it. Recommended.
I published this book four years ago, drawing together a decade+ of writing. At the time I noted on Reddit that some SV types took the title as a challenge: "not *yet*; if we can just perfect the model, we'll have full-on automated luxury libertarian urbanism!"
A City Is Not a Computer

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

If you’re a side sleeper don’t make the mistake of having vaccines put in both shoulders. You’ll run out of shoulders to sleep on. #askMeHowIKnow

Neither Montana nor California have legalized in-app gambling and the fact that those two very different states agree on this should be a signal to everywhere else.

No, Chewy, I am not going to provide a rating for my dog’s kidney medications. I don’t even know what value that would add.

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Poor tigers. Every time we talk about stress and anxiety we say “they’re definitely things we want to have happen when we’re running from tigers”. It’s never lions or bears or moose. Always tigers. My work stress definitely feels like a herd of angry bison heading toward me.

Love this book
So there I was, running the random book picker, and I dismissed one 'cause I just bought the set, and another 'cause it was book 2 in a series, and then SMALL GODS by Terry Pratchett popped up, so here are 10 US Kindle copies of it!

The witch made him hot chocolate.
"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."
He took a sip.
"They say I can overcome any hardship."
"Mm," said the witch.
"And I can. I do."
The witch said nothing.
"But I shouldn't have to!"
"No."
The witch held the hero as he wept.
"No, you shouldn't."
