My viral Substack essay — critiquing the performative nature of modern work and how, in my old life, I did no work for a year and no one noticed — has so far been written about in The Telegraph (by me), MSN News, Yahoo News and yesterday, an article in linkedin.com/feed (one of the biggest papers in Spain).

Which now explains all the recent activity from the Spanish-speaking world. How cool.

It seems to be having a great time out in the wild. I wonder where in the world it might end up next.
