Started Raised in Captivity by Chuck Klosterman, a collection of odd short stories / thought experiments. Book is borderline awful about 20% in, just total self-indulgence. I've been a fan of Chuck for well over a decade now and really enjoyed But What if We're Wrong? a few years ago, but lately he's seemed pretty lazy and uninspired in anything I've read by or him or even when appearing on podcasts.

And to think of ourselves as moist robots instead of skin bags full of mystery and magic, I love that one. Very true imo!
Great book! I've read it twice. I'm not a big fan of a lot of the stuff by him I've read outside of the book, but the book is great.
