Open Thread #2 - Who are your favourite writers and thinkers alive today?
Crowdsourcing sources
I want to canvass the community here (and get some people sharing who have yet to share) on who their favourite writers and/or thinkers alive today are. It doesn’t have to be limited to politics, and could be science-oriented, writers of novels, and so on.
This, of course, serves the purpose of helping me widen my net of sources, but it should help readers here discover people that they have yet to run across online or elsewhere.
Let us know in the comments who are your favourites, and why.
Looking forward to the replies
