This book made me become a misandrist. I hate Randy Waterhouse so much. It’s also absolutely chock full of this white savior colonialist mindset.

it has this view of tech as fundamentally and only male, with absolutely no acknowledgement of any women who do technical work ever. 

I had to read this sentence:
“His prostate is the size and consistency of a croquet ball. He become thinking of it as ‘little man love.’”
