The Best Books of 2024 So Far

What does it mean to really belong? What happens when we can no longer recognize where we came from? And what do we owe to the places that raised us?

From Lydia Millet’s exploration of our collapsing planet to Kaveh Akbar’s portrait of an orphaned son looking for answers about his family’s history, these narratives interrogate deep feelings about the world and how to find a place in it.

Belief in QAnon Wavers Slightly Among Adults After Capitol Riots, Inauguration

Focusing energy on moderating QAnon’s social media forums seems to be the most fruitful approach to stemming the tide of misinformation. Sixty-one percent of the 213 adults who said they believe QAnon’s ideas are accurate said they got their information about the group from social media, compared with 35 percent who pointed to internet forums and 34 percent who cited the mainstream media.

That’s the powerfully told story of “A Spy Among Friends,” which streamed on ITVX in the United Kingdom last year and which now arrives on nascent streamer MGM+.
