Literary News:
Author John Naisbitt dies at age 92 in Austria. His best selling book was Megatrends with the theme you must know the past to predict the future. He also wrote of his travels to China--mainly politically.

The "buzz" of the publishing world this week is the new biography of Nancy Reagan by Karen Tumulty which focuses on the "quiet" power of Nancy.

Best selling book in the US last week: The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman. This is a book of poems. Ms. Gorman was the inaugural poet in 2021.

I have never read Naisbitt, but sounds interesting. It would be fun to revisit those later 20th century futurists. Alvin Toffler's Future Shock was popular in the mid 1970s.
