Ezra Klein's Book Recommendations

"Near-future fiction about the world climate change is creating, and how it will change us, and we will change it."

"There's more to say about the book than I possibly can here, but it's key virtue is it takes our present more seriously than we do. and then it asks questions many are afraid to ask — about capitalism, about the morality of violence, about how we ignore what we already know."

"An incredible book."

"New pod! .@ElizKolbert's new "Under A White Sky" is an incredible book. I read an early copy so we could have this conversation about the hard choices we're going to face in the coming years: Solar geoengineering, CRISPR gene drives, and more."

"A few fiction books I've loved recently: -NK Jemisin's "The City We Became" -Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's "This is How You Lose the Time War" -Kevin Wilson's "Nothing to See Here" They're all beautiful writing built on fantastical premises. Got any more recommendations?"

"I was...resistant to @Roughtype's The Shallow's when it came out. 10 years later, I think it's one of the most prescient books of the digital age. So I asked Carr to come on the podcast for a long overdue conversation:"

"One of the most prescient books of the digital age."

"A brilliant exploration of the question 'what is economics for?' disguised as an excellent biography of John Maynard Keynes."

"Also, I loved @zachdcarter "The Price of Peace," which is a brilliant exploration of the question "what is economics for?" disguised as an excellent biography of John Maynard Keynes. Listen to the podcast, but don't miss the book."

"Brilliant book."

"Not the friendliest [tour] through American politics but [it is] the most information rich."

"Great if you want to go deep on the case against the electoral college."

"He's more optimistic than I am about multiparty democracy solving our ills, but he's absolutely right on the structural nature of two-party duopoly."

"Great if you like feeling very confused about the nature of reality, which I guess I do."

"One of the more frustrating dynamics in politics is many voters assume that if something was good or obvious, it'd be bipartisan, and if it's not, that means something is wrong."

"Hit me particularly hard."

"One of a few essential texts for understanding politics (and American life) today."

"It's life-changing."

"@AGKD123 I read Children of Ruin and Shards of Earth this year too, went on a real Tchaikovsky kick! They're all great, but CoT is a masterwork, even if Shards is, in some ways, probably a more well-constructed book."

"@kristoncapps I'm reading this right now, and it's astonishing. The first chapter may be the best first chapter I've read in a book, ever."

"Bit of an odd column for me, but built around two books that were electric to read in this moment, and I strongly recommend: Matthew Rose's "A World After Liberalism" and @yermolenko_v's "Ukraine in Histories and Stories.""
