Goodreads asked Tamim Ansary:

What are you currently working on?

Tamim Ansary I spent the last six years writing The Invention of Yesterday: A 50,000 Year History of Human, Culture, and Connection, which will be released this fall. So you might say, I am now resting. Resting, in this case, means that I stumbled across a novel I started writing almost 40 years ago, called Sinking the Ark, about six characters who work for a counterculture newspaper in the seventies. I found I wanted to immerse myself in that fictional world again, because after all these years , I think I see where it's supposed to go. The odd thing is, themes that I thought I had discovered and developed in the Invention of Yesterday in these last six years were already twinkling in that novel I was working on 40 years ago.
