wow wow wow, what a book. black buck was a rollercoaster of emotions — mostly anger and stress — from the perspective of someone who was willing to sacrifice it all to get ahead. it’s a great satire of corporate/tech culture and the racism that exists in those spaces and i enjoyed reading it.

i will say though that the some of the narrative/writing style wasn’t really for me. i get that it’s meant to be a satire from a more immature perspective, but parts of it made me roll my eyes. regardless, it was a pretty quick read so i would recommend it.
