Tamar Cox-Rubien
Tamar Cox-Rubien asked Tao Lin:

Why don’t you write about your older brother but do write about your other family members?

Tao Lin I haven't interacted with him as much as my parents. My next book, Leave Society, has a character that is based on him, though.

Conor O'Shea
Conor O'Shea asked Tao Lin:

Do you have some kind of method to read so many books? How do you achieve the necessary concentration? Are you able to read while under the influence of cannabis?

Kenneth Lian
Kenneth Lian asked Tao Lin:

I have trouble believing in anything for certain. All information from media, peers etc. and philosophies from books and public figures are interesting insights but doesn't program me to feel more grounded. I have questions such as 'why am I doing this' that makes me feel like meaning in life is slippery, like water. How do you find information that you can believe, and how do solidify meaning?

Ryan Mitrovich
Ryan Mitrovich asked Tao Lin:

Do you still draw mandalas? If so, do you think you'll ever sell them again as you've done previously through eBay?
