This has been a pretty overwhelming day so far. I am so incredibly grateful for everyone who helped make this book happen, who has helped promote it, and who has bought it.
Really, thank you. I'm very lucky.
Very interesting post about climate change policy. Plus, read the Nexus Trilogy, it is awesome.
