As Wired he analyzed Epstein’s video

Michael Heat: Go to the cinema.

Lauren Goode: Go to the cinema.

Katie Drummond: I like that.

Michael Heat: This is the worst time of the year to go to the cinema.

Lauren Goode: No, it’s the best time of the year because air conditioning and comfortable seats.

Michael Heat: Yes, but it is-

Katie Drummond: I’m with Lauren, this is an excellent advice.

Lauren Goode: No, I have been three times this year and every time, a lot the last minute. A friend invited me to the last minute to go and see the 40th anniversary of Goonies who played in the center. We went, it was great. One evening I was going out with friends and we said: “Let’s go see sinners”. He was playing right on the other side of the road, fantastic. The theater was practically empty, it was glorious. The film itself, in reality, take a look at our friends, to the critics in great New York pods. They had some thoughts about materialists, so I will throw it to them, but it was great. I was like, I have to go to the cinema.

Michael Heat: Oh, for sure.

Lauren Goode: What is your recommendation, Mike?

Michael Heat: I will recommend a book, and this is a book that I read beyond the weekend of July 4th. It’s called, refusal happily by Leif Enger. I think this is the fourth novel by Leif Enger. It’s a bestseller, you may have already heard of his name. This is his new book, it’s a dystopian fiction. It has described a world for some decades in which society has crumbled in a way that seems very recognizable and familiar, a bit like a more dangerous and uncertain version of today. The entire economy is controlled by a handful of super rich elite. The educational system is crumbled, most Americans are proudly illiterate. We have a proudly illiterate president in this book. Satellite communications have been enthusiastic, they are totally unreliable, the GPS no longer works. It is just like a eroded version of the world in which we live, and is truly clearly rendered. Let’s go to this world and follow the main character in a research. The entire book takes place on the superior lake in northern minnesota and on the Ontario western. The main character rises on a boat and he goes and browsing the superior lake and we follow him. I am not going to ruin it by saying anything more, but it is compelling and unpredictable and also simply well written, magnificently written in terms of sentence. It is like poetry for the pages. It is surprising, emotional, deep. It will make you angry because it is a book for this moment. He is simply gorgeous.

Lauren Goode: I don’t know what to say to this, except for the fact that it seems really deep.

Katie Drummond: You are much more sophisticated than both. Sorry, Lauren.

Michael Heat: Well, I mean, not really.

Lauren Goode: I accept it.

Michael Heat: No, I mean, I know I have recommended a Nerd book, but you should really read it only because it gives you a very acute future and orders what it is as if I let the richest people in the world manage the economy and manage all the basic services on which we rely, at the point where they fall apart because the most important people no longer need them and it is the rest of us who have to suffer. And it’s like, it’s a little gloomy, it seems that it seems that the way the world is moving, and this is why the book has resounded so much with me when I read it. Yes.

Lauren Goode: I will add it to the good readings. A thousand thanks.

Michael Heat: Obviously.

Lauren Goode: Yes. I have almost recommended a book by a philosopher, but for now I will keep it and keep it low. Once Katie has gone, we can simply illuminate Nerd, Mike.

Michael Heat: I do not know. I’m going to look at Goonies. I do not know.
