i really enjoyed this book, mostly because i am a lefty haha. i definitely had forgotten everything that had happened in the first book but thankfully the book explains the previous events in enough detail to get the general picture. 

i liked the plot and the different characters, i enjoyed most of the social commentary, however, at times it was quite on the nose.

People will just share the things that confirm their ideology, and those things will always exist. Our reality isn't about what's real, it's about what we pay attention to.

This is not a book about aliens or science --- it's a book about community, power, compassion, and how humanity uses and abuses the tools we have created in order to manipulate those things. A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is deeply weird, yet profoundly true. I want to go back and highlight about 65% of Hank's words. It is obvious this is all coming from a place of caring and social media/celebrity experience; as well as the human experience we can all relate to. I cannot recommend this book and its insanely relevant messages enough.
