A photo John Higgs posted at his latest newsletter offers a possible clue on the subject of his new book, which he will announce Oct. 5. Do we get to guess the title? My entry is "Bonding with The Beatles."
The latest John Higgs newsletter has an essay on Robert Anton Wilson and vaccine skepticism. I don't want to try to summarize it here, just read it, but here is one paragraph:
The miracle of vaccines, however, is not a story that social media is likely to promote. An issue here is that the success of vaccines is abstract and invisible, which makes them just the sort of thing that our brains are bad at factoring in. We are hardwired to pay more attention to the tale of a friend of a friend who had a funny turn after being vaccinated than we are the tens of thousands of unspecified people who did not die because they had their jabs.
John will announce details of his new book on Oct. 5, and there's plenty of other interesting news at the link.

Great and it's good to also notice John Higgs has a ~10 minutes conversation at Russel Brand podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/si/podcast/201-finding-light-with-john-higgs/id1212064750?i=1000534276787
