Check out my new book, YOU ARE WHAT YOU WATCH, about all the cool ways that movies and pop culture impact your body, brain, kids, identity, travel, sports, crime, spies, science, war, stores, money, names, dogs, taxes, countries, friends, enemies, and the people who make them.

The book talks about how we watch things, how those things affect our bodies *physically and repeatably* It's how pets, sports, travel, science, music, crime, war, peace, and the world itself is constantly and demonstrably changed by "mere" entertainment. barnesandnoble.com/w/you-are…

If you liked the pop culture stories I wrote at @FiveThirtyEight, if you liked my Oscar work, if you've ever been fascinated by the ways that pop culture can reverberate around the world and within a person, I wrote this book for you.
