This book by Amor Towles came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Hugh Howey. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“there's a short story collection coming out by him this year called a table for two ... get it on day one because there's one short story in particular on there that is the cleverest thing I've ever read”— Hugh Howey
The guest here is Hugh Howey: Bestselling science-fiction author of Wool and the Silo Trilogy, adapted into Apple TV+'s top drama Silo; pioneer of self-publishing who retained his digital, audio, and foreign rights. Hugh Howey tells Tim Ferriss how Wool became a self-publishing phenomenon and shares hard-won lessons on writing, rights, AI, and life.
