Virtue Signaling & Other Heresies by John Scalzi

When a blog has been going on for twenty years, it becomes a gold mine for anthologizing. Over the whole process hangs the possibility the topicality of the essays maybe work against them, words circling an issue not only well but appropriately forgotten. However, this concern is balanced out by those much more numerous occasions where gems of clarity are embedded in lost history of the moment. Famed science fiction author John Scalzi has collected essays from his blog, Whatever, from 2013-2018 in his new book Virtue Signaling giving readers a fascinating survey of the daily writing he’s done during that period.
