Need some last-minute gifts? Books are the greatest. Here is me frolicking in a park with some of my books, which all want to live on your bookshelf. You can get them at your local indie bookstore, or get signed and personalized copies from @foliosf at foliosf.com/annaleenewitz -- plus, you can pre-order my new nonfiction book, Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind, which I guarantee your future self will be glad to have in June.

A messy stack of my books rests on a tree stump. They are: "The Terraformers," "Four Lost Cities," "Autonomous," "The Future of Another Timeline," and "Scatter, Adapt, and Remember."
This is a picture of the cover of my forthcoming book, "Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind." Hovering around the book are little cartoon speech bubbles that contain advance praise for the book. Ed Yong says: "A thoroughly researched and masterfully crafted book that gives us something hopeful -- a way to disarm the narratives that have been used against us and reclaim better ones." Angela Saini says, "A storyteller's account of the devastating force of storytelling." Molly Crabapple says, "This will change the way you understand America." Astra Taylor says, "Illuminating and energizing, Stories Are Weapons can help us defuse the propaganda bombs going off all around us." There is also praise from NK Jemisin, who says, "Annalee Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity." The book is coming in early June from W.W. Norton & Company.
