In the spirit of the book, Iโ€™m opening up previews with beta readers over the next week or so.

If youโ€™d like to be involved, DM or @ me and Iโ€™ll get you on the list.

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles
