The Authors
If The Choice Effect is “comic sociology” (we thank New York Times columnist David Brooks for this term, among others), then enter your favorite social comics: We are Amalia, Lara, and Claire. We met freshman year of college, and the past decade has seen us starring in our fair share of self-inflicted drama. We’re different in tons of ways, but we all like like travel, we like not working in cubicles, we like men. We think moist is a bad word, we hate abnormally shaped fruit, and we cried tears of joy when Obama was elected.
