Now (or Recently)
The "now page" concept comes from an idea by Derek Sivers to have people communicate what they're focused on now at this point in their lives.

Books
Exhalation • 2019 • Ted Chiang • A fun and thought-provoking collection of short sci-fi stories. Some of these are centered around completely novel concepts, others less so, but they’re all explorations in their own way of what it means to be human. *****
The Mastermind • Evan Ratliff • 2019 • Crime is fun, at least for the reader of good journalistic documentations of it, and Evan Ratliff is nothing if not a dogged and interested journalist. I read most of this online at some point, but the book is still incredibly fascinating. Paul Le Roux is quite a character. You won’t be able to put this down. *****
