Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"While the fiction market is buoyed by genres such as crime, fantasy and romance that are popular on BookTok (the influential reading community within TikTok), non-fiction sales are down markedly year-on-year. The received wisdom is that non-fiction is more skimmable, leading to the emergence of apps such as Blinkist, Headway and StoryShots, which offer book summaries suspected to be largely AI-generated. But even putting the copyright and accuracy issues of AI aside, reading is not just about efficiency. Good non-fiction offers not just information but a conversation: following an author’s thought process effectively trains our monkey minds to think.</p><p>My favourite non-fiction book this year — and an excellent antidote to brain rot — is Edwin Frank’s Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth-Century Novel.
