Greetings from Read Max HQ! Today, to round out December before our annual year-end post, a podcast with John Ganz on the ascension of Elon Musk to shadow-president-via-shitposting.

On this episode we talk about the following books:

* Rated Agency: Investee Politics in a Speculative Age by Michael Feher (this is the one whose title we couldn’t remember)

* Speculative Communities: Living with Uncertainty in a Financialized World by Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou

* Immediacy: Or, the Style of Too Late Capitalism by Anna Kornbluh
