Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Richard Powers on What We Do to the Earth and What It Does to Us Hua Hsu writing a long profile of Richard Powers in The New Yorker. Happy Monday to me.

Apple’s latest attempt to slightly differentiate the iPhone 16 series is… a faux button it’s calling Camera Control.
