Lots going on here that I agree with on non-fiction's struggles: Attention economy issues, templated unimaginative books, a very diverse category that doesn't always serve its readers or writers well to be grouped under, but fundamentally a vital human pursuit: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

theguardian.com

Are we falling out of love with nonfiction?

In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about – and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

I agree with Toby here. Lots to be concerned about with LLM training from copyrighted material. I expect a lot of LBF chat around this issue. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
