Context:

At the end of the podcast, Tom explicitly references the guest Helen Thompson's book, describing it as having a 'slightly depressing title that's more than justified itself since its publication' and noting it 'is out now.' The entire episode discussion about oil, geopolitics, and energy appears to draw from themes in this book.

Context:

Tom mentions reading this book in manuscript form before it was published, and quotes his own endorsement that appeared on the back of the book. Helen Thompson is the guest on the podcast, and this is her book about geopolitics and oil, described as 'just out this week.'
