| Generally speaking, it's been a not-great year. But it has been good for one thing, and that's books. Maybe we can't attend author readings of new books, or gather in-person with our book clubs, but we are able to curl up with a good read just like in Normal Times, and maybe even find a little extra solace in the ritual. So, in the event that you're on the hunt for a new book—for yourself or for a holiday gift—we've collected our favorite book excerpts from the past year. From a beautiful treatise on selfie-ing the life out of nature to the sobering tale of how a foreign government infiltrated Twitter, you'll find something for everyone on your list. Happy Holidays, and Happy Reading! Ricki Harris | Associate Editor, WIRED |
