Together, they will unpack their new book Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.  In this highly anticipated work they examine Elon Musk not as an individual, but as a symptom and avatar of our postliberal age. Musk isn’t a glitch in the system—he is the system.

Blending philosophy with personal narrative, she asked: What do we really know about those closest to us? The evening was a powerful reminder of how literature can bridge the particular and the universal, and how survival in an age of extremes demands both courage and imagination.
