I got an ad from Amazon for Jill Lepore's new audiobook, called Who Killed Truth? Like HCR's new upcoming volume, Democracy Awakening, I suspect this Lepore book is a lightly-edited collection of blog posts and short articles. There's nothing wrong with curating and revisiting a set of explorations of ideas that have stood the test of time, I guess. People still read George Orwell's essays that were based on things he saw happening around him in contemporary politics and culture. But is that what these books are going to be?

Greetings from the UK. While I have some grasp of US politics and culture, 'HCR' had me knotted throughout your article. Maybe a Harvard thing? Hollywood Republicans?? With a UK bias, on the new King's birthday weekend, it can only mean the Household Cavalry Regiment.
I agree with you about HCR and cancelled my subscription--the analysis was superficial. You might appreciate https://substack.com/@policytensor
