“Reports of book’s death are greatly exaggerated. I do believe books are not going away. And that the more video games that are played, the more TikTok, the more doom scrolling, all of that stuff, the respite to all of this, and the hope and the life raft is a simple book. Not attached to anything, a simple book in your hands and that’s going to transport you in a way that none of those other things can.”
Author of “Darkly” Marisha Pessl in an interview with NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe
