I learned from Diana Berlin’s always excellent newsletter Diagonal that Stewart Brand has a new book out, and it’s about maintenance, and it’s published by Stripe Press. From the introduction:

This book, I’m pretty sure, is the first to look at maintenance in general. It asks: What can be learned if you think about all the varieties of maintenance at the same time? I doubt if there are any non-trivial “laws” of maintenance to be discovered. All I can offer here is to muse across a representative sample of maintenance domains and see what emerges.

Very excited to give it a go, somewhat worried about “Part One” appearing in the title, disappointed in Stripe not caring enough to ask one woman for a blurb.
