You ever read Mistborn?

no but this author name looks very familiar

I’ve only read one of his books, The Way of Kings, which is part of this new series he’s been writing. He does mainly fantasy with some sci-fi elements in his other novels

I gotta cop Age of Surveillance Capitalism, I saw the 50 minute interview she had about it and it was some real eye opening s***.

What was said

Here's the video if you wanna watch, but I assume you get alot more out of the book than from a video. I watched it about a month or two ago but I remember being pretty bewildered of how specifically capable data a***ysis and algorithms have become of manipulating your thought process, and essentially to coerce you into feeling the need to buy products thru targeted ads. You hear people talking about things like that but actually learning how it works and how capable it is, now that's some scary s***.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is probably the best book I ever read tbh. It’s been a while since i’ve gotten back into reading. A lot of other stuff takes my time up. I just bought some books to get back into it. I used to read a lot when I was younger but life lol. I strongly recommend it if you never read it before.

Just picked up Shape by Jordan Ellengerg.

Gonna read all these

Clarice Lispector's Hour of the Star has been my #1 for a minute, like a sister book to Bolaño's By Night in Chile
