I have the strong suspicion this person doesn’t participate in book clubs. Or much in the way of social events.
Mistaking “book club” for “book class” isn’t a small category error.

He's written articles like https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/the-friendship... which was one of the best pieces of writing on technology and humans that I've read recently. This is not the work of a recluse (the undesirable negative connotations aside).
I mean he's the one telling people that they're doing their hobby 'wrong'... I’m sure he can accept criticism if he’s going to issue it uninvited himself.
