Just finished listening to this on my way in to work this morning. I read Nathaniel Rich‘s King Zeno last year and loved it. Narrator on this book was good and enjoyed it at 1.5x speed - gave it the great urgency the characters experienced throughout the story. Loved the nerdy numbers/quant and the bit of crazy. Great “read” 🤓🚙📖 #recommendsday
Got this piece of mail today at work. Is it an omen or does art imitate life?
Began this last night after a night of trick or treating. Seems to be about a man who deals in extreme what if scenarios for a living. Corporations use his predictions to protect themselves from financial vulnerability but so far it is all just predictions. I have a feeling that very soon a worst case what if will be come a reality.
#TBRtemptation post 1! Today's TBR temptations come from my library's main upstairs display 👍🏻. This is a dystopian near-future NYC story that centers around math prodigy Mitchell Zukor. He's hired by a mysterious firm called FutureWorld to calculate in detail worst-case disasters. His conclusions are sold to other corps for indemnification. He begins to lose touch with reality. Then an actual w-c s does happen! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
I know it's fiction, but to this librarian it's troubling... "He examined so many topographical and geological maps of the city that the librarian informed him, in hushed voice, that he had been added to the FBI watch list."
