Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870-2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.

Brilliant synthesis
Revisado: 03-04-23
DeLong covers a lot of ground elegantly and makes a persuasive case that technological advances changed everything over a 140-year period, but without answering Keynes question about how to turn our new material abundance into broadly shared prosperity aligned with a reasonable conception of the good life. Highly thought provoking.

Twenty-nine-year-old PhD student Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish her dissertation on the late canonical poet Xiao-Wen Chou and never read about “Chinese-y” things again. But after years of grueling research, all she has to show for her efforts are a junk food addiction and stomach pain. When she accidentally stumbles upon a curious note in the Chou archives one afternoon, it looks like her ticket out of academic hell.

Interesting take on modern campus culture wars
Revisado: 03-04-23
Killer concept for a novel gives the author a chance to riff thought-provokingly and entertainingly on American culture and higher education. It’s a little bleak, but so are those two things these days, and the narrative is often funny and touching, the latter almost despite itself.
