In this conversation, he talks about how he knows when an idea is actually interesting, why having a machine as a competitor has clarified the kind of writer he wants to be, what reading Moby Dick taught him, and why some obvious things have never actually been said.
You can watch full conversation on YouTube and thanks to Granola, you can chat with the conversation here.
Also, Adam’s debut book, The Strangest Idea in the World, is coming soon, and it’s one of three books we can’t wait to get our hands on (the two others are Robert Greene’s book on the sublime and Kyle Chayka How to Be Moved). It’s about why breakthroughs take so absurdly long (it took us 300,000 years to invent the toilet!) and the ways of thinking that lead to one. You can preorder a copy here.
