@umagunturi1.bsky.socialBook launch today! My new book, "Why You Should Read More Fiction" (Johns Hopkins), is part of a wave of digital humanities work that explains why reading fiction is so important for our minds, especially right now. I hope you'll pick up a copy and spread the word. #digitalhumanities #fiction
