If I didn't need to finish it this month (with only 1 more day to go) to get bingo I honestly don't think I would have pushed through the beginning.
Naomi is a great author, however unlike them I do not love tech and this book had a lot of it.
It is a very current book and the issues in it are very much on topic and the overall message of the book I am on board with.
It was a bit bonkers in bits and that helped me out as otherwise it would have been a bit dry for me as I didn't like all the coding and computer algoritm talk, I do however appreciate that there are many people who would have found this fascinating.
I love the power which is obviously about women overcoming misogyny and the gender inequalities that are faced. A much easily topic for me to relate to than this book which is about the influence of huge corporation on the world and how as a society we should want to live and the world to become.
The style and flow etc are all very good. This book has lGBQT+ representation and some reflective thinking about the environment and the role of companies in our daily live's and our future. I will give it a 3.5 ⭐
