Psyched for this: Chef @deukihong and writer Matt Rodbard have written KOREAWORLD, a book about modern Korean food around the world: amazon.com/gp/product/059…

I went back to Yamaguchi City last week and wrote up the trip: craigmod.com/ridgeline/182/

Tokyo folks: Giving a reading tomorrow night at BnA_WALL (yes, I know, that name …) from 19:00! Come join if you're in town; RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

.Craig Mod is a really fascinating example of a 'solo creator' (horrible word — let's just use 'artist') who sustains himself on books and memberships, essentially to the community of his fans. Very deep retrospective that he wrote here craigmod.com/essays/members…

I've been running my SPECIAL PROJECTS membership program now for (an unbelievable to me) FIVE YEARS. My gratitude for the opportunity of the last five years is more than any HTML page can hold. 🙏🙏🙏

NEW BOOK NEWS: I am writing my third book for Viking Books — a cultural history of the 21st century — to be published in late 2025. It will bring the narrative storytelling of Ametora together with the theory of Status and Culture to explain what happened over the last 25 years.

Slightly incorrect translation by 読売新聞オンライン here: not 'more interesting than Kyoto' but rather, 'more interesting than simply calling it 'Kyoto of the west''

At least once a year Craig Mod and I invite remarkable people to walk a week with us. It's always one of the best weeks of the year. We just wrote up a small free booklet that tells you everything we know on how to do your own 'walk and talk.' kk.org/thetechnium/fi…

I’m doing a 150km walk across Tokyo from November 5-12. My third big Tokyo pop-up walk. Sign up to follow along here:
