"So Silicon Valley had fashioned for us a second Massachusetts Bay, a new frontier of avoidance whose effects lay all around me now, in the decay of the actual." Epic report from the OCD conference in San Francisco by Andrew Kay, in the new @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
Will Stephenson retweeted
Last year, I stumbled across a myth: the Lost Tribes of Israel were real, I was told, and their descendants lived in Fiji. Reporting the story took me across the Pacific, to a warlord, a prophet and the center of the universe. Now in @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

Amazing piece of journalism by Maddy Crowell that kept making me think about the line I always attributed to Pynchon but is actually (Google tells me) from Catch 22: "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you" harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
Will Stephenson retweeted
Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

5. "The Last Detail," Kent Russell @Harpers "Russell approaches this with care, and while his scenework is often pitched for a laugh, its arm’s-length regard feels like a function of self-consciousness rather than judgment." harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
