A ideia valia mais: os diálogos e as próprias personagens são pouco credíveis, todos excêntricos de qualquer forma. As páginas finais há algum consolo, mas tratando-se de DeLillo esperava mais.

Interesting dive into how people might and might not cope when technology ends. A brisk read.

Boomer flash fiction about the loss of Netflix. Can be read while you sit on the shitter hoping you're not constipated. Somehow has two sex scenes that are shorter than my first groomsman speech. $22 for a hardcover?! Inflation is a b
