I worked as an archivist during grad school, so I appreciated some of the little inside jokes and references about that line of work peppered throughout this book. I didn't think very deeply about the larger impact of what I was doing during that time, nor was I very skilled in the work, but what Fellman eventually has to say about archiving and preservation has made me think about that part of my life and career more deeply.

It takes a while (like 60% of the way through) for anything that noticable to happen, but I found the premise and characters intriguing enough to keep on going. Glad I did.
