All right, for our audience who might not be as online as the average citizen and doesn't know abundance, the book that you wrote with Ezra Klein.

What is abundance? But hold on, there's a second part of the question. Is this book now completely useless given the change in the administrative policies or is it more important than ever? So abundance is a book that I wrote with Ezra Klein. It's a book that we wrote between 2023 and 2024 before we knew the outcome.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
