Finished reading: After On: A Novel of Silicon Valley by Rob Reid One of the best books I've read all year. Funny, cringy, pop-culture, and sarcastic book about technology and artificial intelligence. The audiobook is acted out like a play. I would highly recommend you read this.

Finished reading: A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine A political space opera. The writing style makes this a taxing book to get through but it's an interesting story. More Political Opera in Space than a Space Opera.

Just finished reading: A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge An epic Hard SciFi book, but it's way too long. It's a prequel to "A Fire Upon The Deep" which is a much better book in my opinion.
