Desperately seeking escapism: Notes from Magic LIVE (Pt I) August 15, 2017

Paul Bradley Carr is the author of The Upgrade, Bringing Nothing To The Party, Sober Is My New Drunk, etc etc.

He has written for the Guardian, the Wall St Journal, The Times (London), The Daily Telegraph, National Geographic, The Huffington Post, Food and Wine, Private Eye, BBC Radio, Channel 4 TV (UK) and countless other outlets on both sides of the Atlantic.

He has also (co-)founded and sold a bunch of media companies, including NSFWCORP, Pando, and The Friday Project.

This is his personal website/blog which contains very little about any of those books or companies, but is absolutely chock full of weird, libelous, self-indulgent nonsense about his life, writing and publishing, locked room mysteries, restaurants in Palm Springs, and the awfulness of Silicon Valley.

Paul is on Twitter, but only barely.

The new Elon Musk biography is out!

I love this new Christopher Michel series where he photographs someone sitting on a chair and then makes a jacket for Om out of that same chair.
