Deep Questions with Cal Newport, 22 June 2026. The book comes up at 52 min 40 sec in.

Cal Newport finished an advance electronic galley of James Marriott's then-forthcoming book The New Dark Ages, described as being about the important role reading played in modernity and what society stands to lose as reading declines.
