This is my review of a very prescient book which aligns with the concerns of this podcast: William Deresiewicz’s The Death of the Artist: How Creators are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech (2020). I share one central insight of the book and also some notes I have as a European-based artist with a theater background. If I get just one person to read this book, I’ll be happy!
