if you liked Babel, maybe check out Katabasis! Also Slewfoot was a super fun read!

I also JUST started and am loving it so far!

long run, good! I'm hopeful the placebo effects are going to be me actually not wanting versus feeling too full and nauseous

The story twists and turns so much I can’t say anything for fear of spoiling!

please don't start using AI slop

ABSOLUTELY NOT! My dedication to work-life balance would NOT have me doing a fraction of the things the author did for ANY company!

NOOOOOOOO

I loved this book!! The sequel ("The Brightness Between Us") is even better in my opinion!

haven't read this since high school - I'm due for a re-read!

OK I've gotten much deeper in the book, and while a lot of it is common knowledge, it's pretty incisive abt the sexual harassment prevalent at FB and the depth of their work/collaboration with China as they were trying to break into the country. This has gone from a 2⭐ to a 4⭐ read!

A LOT of it is the common knowledge about the evil of FB but even more it's a rebuke of Sh*ryl Sandb*rg's "Le*n In" and how nobody (including Z*ck) knew/cared how to run a company well (which I feel has always been apparent, but YMMV) mixed in with "but nobody listened to me call out concerns!"

Haha I just hope I’m not the only person who’s felt this way!

it's a book from my book club, otherwise I'd absolutely DNF it.
