The (U.S.) Breakup with Kurt Andersen

Kurt Andersen — co-creator of Spy, longtime New York magazine editor, and author of Fantasyland and Evil Geniuses — crosses the border for a Wordfest Imaginairium conversation about his new novel, The Breakup. Set in an AI-suffused 2045 America fractured into the Free America Republic and a diminished United States, the book follows a long-married couple pulled apart along the same fault lines. Expect a sharp, funny reckoning with where the country has been and where it's headed.
