3.0

Wow, okay, so I had a few issues with this book: the pacing, the short length leaving everything feeling underdeveloped, the preachy social commentary, and the complete failure to reckon with race and settler-colonialism.

It was entertaining, for sure, but it's not the quality I had come to expect from White's work.
