I just received my copy of Autocracy Inc by Anne Applebaum. I am just beginning my read but I can already tell this is an outstanding work. Already finding it illuminating on what motivates autocrats and the connections between them. Just a great read and I recommend it.

I'm not sure if Anne Applebaum is on Mastodon, but her substack is here:
