dalinar 's review for:
Kitten Clone: The History of the Future at Bell Labs
by Douglas Coupland
Another late review, probably going to be ramble-y:
So I've held onto this book from 2014 and this entire time I thought it was a fiction book. Only when I was looking through the publication details did I notice I've been wrong these 7 years. Still, Coupland tackles a real life company's history/biography in such a fun, fictionalized way so it read like a satirical, super tongue-in-cheek interview. And all from the interviewer's mind, including their thoughts. I loved how these random thoughts would go from being incredibly fleeting and fast to fleshed out over a full page with the print getting tinier and tinier and tinier. Over all led to some fun googling, Bell Labs Holmdel being my fav, and genuine learning so that was cool and unexpected.
