How WIRED Analyzed the Epstein Video

Michael Hit: Go to the movie

Lauren Good: Just go to the movie.

Katie Drummond: I like it.

Michael Hit: This is the worst time of the year to go to the movies.

Lauren Good: No, it’s the best time of the year because of the air conditioning and comfortable seats.

Michael Hit: Yes, however it-

Katie Drummond: I’m with Lauren, this is a great suggestion.

Lauren Good: No, I’ve been three times this year and every time, at the very last moment. A friend invited me at the last minute that Gunj’s 40th anniversary that was playing in the suburbs. We walked, it was great. I was going to visit with friends one night and we said, “Let’s see the sinners.” It was playing directly across the road, great. The theater was virtually empty, it was glorious. The movie itself, in fact, see critics of our friends, Large, New Yorker Pod. They had some thoughts about materialists, so I was going to toss it to them, but it was great. I was, I have to go to more movies.

Michael Hit: Oh, of course.

Lauren Good: What is your recommendation, Mike?

Michael Hit: I’m going to recommend a book, and this is a book I read on the weekend on July 4. It is said, I am cheerfully rejected by Life Enggar. I believe this is the fourth novel of Leaf Anger. He is a bestseller, you may probably hear his name. This is his new book, this is the Dystopian fiction. It portrayed a world a few decades later from now where society has been crushed in a way that seems very recognized and known, somewhat like today’s more dangerous and uncertain versions. The entire economy is controlled by a handful of super rich elite. The education system is crushed, most American pride is illiterate. This book is proud of our proud president. Satellite contacts are equipped, completely incredible, GPS no longer works. It’s just like a decaying version of the earth we live in and it is really fully rendered. We get down on this earth and we follow the main character in a search. The entire book is placed in North Minnesota and Western Ontario’s Lake Superior. The main character goes on a boat and he goes and he rides to Superior Lake and we follow him around. I’m not going to plunder it by saying something more than that, but it is gripping and unpredictable and simply written beautifully on the sentence level. It’s like a poem for pages. It is amazing, sensitive, deep. This will make you angry because it’s a book for the moment. It’s just gorgeous.

Lauren Good: I don’t know what to say it, except what it sounds, it sounds really deep.

Katie Drummond: You are much more sophisticated than both of us. Sorry, Lauren.

Michael Hit: Okay, I mean, not really.

Lauren Good: I took it.

Michael Hit: No, I mean, I know that I have suggested a Nardi book, but you should really read it because it gives you a really sharp, potential future that you only allow the world’s richest people to run the economy and the primary services that we only separated because they are the most important people do not need them and it does not need them. And like that, it’s a kind of deadly, it seems like the world is going on like this, and that’s why the book was so resonated with me when I read it. Yes

Lauren Good: I’m going to associate it with good reading. Thanks a lot

Michael Hit: Of course.

Lauren Good: Yes I proposed a philosopher’s book about almost a philosopher, but I will hold it down and keep it underneath. Once Katie leaves, we can just burn the mic, nerve.

Michael Hit: I don’t know. I’m going to see Guni. I don’t know.
