I don't mind when techbros take inspiration from science fiction, but remember: Those folks also wrote fantasy, mysteries, and Westerns to get by. More CEO announcements should be like, "After AI gets us to Mars, we can more easily fight the dragon queen in her moon shrine."

"Black Guy Dies First", a list/history/analysis/riff on the infamous horror movie trope;

Starting "The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis". Young Black women recruited from the South to do work white ladies refused to die doing.

* = "Black-Owned" had a hold, didn't get to finish; only 15 pages into "Black Angels" but wow, grim.
