so-soI give this two stars because its subject is interesting. A book about the narcissist of the tech industry. What‘s not enjoyable is the author is as narcissistic as the people she‘s writing about. The book seems to be a tribute to the wonderfulness of Kara Swisher who is always right. She seems to have the impression that she has some influence over the decisions the tech giants make. lost count of the “me‘s” and “I‘s”. All hail Kara Swisher.
pickI love this author! Amanda Montell, please keep writing these books that illustrate larger issues and topics with down to earth stories and relatable content!
“Overthinking” could be my middle name these days so I related to this so much. But I think many would find the “notes on modern irrationality” not only entertaining but also enlightening. Loved it!!
pickA fantastic book with relatable essays about mourning and endless nostalgia about songs of the 80‘s and 90‘s. Today‘s playlists don‘t hit the same as a good old mixed tape!
pickReally really good. At one level it tells the story of his grandparents. On one side of the family they were Canadians of Japanese descent who were interned in Alberta in WWII. On the other side his grandfather was a soldier captured in Hong Kong who spent 4 years in a Japanese pow camp. At another level it‘s about forgiving ourselves.
“Forgiveness has nothing to do with the past”.
1. Charcuterie with meats, cheeses, crusty bread, red grapes, and apples. Served with a bottle of my favorite red wine, of course! 🧀🍖🍞🍇🍏 🍷
2. The Electricity of Every Living Thing by Katherine May would be a good choice. I would also take Weyward by Emilia Hart.
Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView! This was fun! #Two4Tuesday
