book out

Sir Salman, who has a new book out later this year, told the Hay Festival that an "important moment" came for him when he and his wife Eliza "went back to the scene of the crime to show myself I could stand up where I fell down".

"They asked to book out the whole top two floors for privacy," added Gaby.

He said the encounter "really upset" him, "and I thought to myself, I need to do something about this. I need to get this book out. Now is the right time".

It can feel like a book out of time, yet it’s literally grounded in millions of years of human history.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the chaos and coming fight around impoundment of federal grants; the surprise market shakeup around AI and DeepSeek; and talk with Jonathan Rauch about his new book out next week entitled Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy.
