Like 2061, noting happens in this novel. Some fun technology ideas, but no jeopardy or character development. Boring.
A very nice, engaging, and well-written introduction to the language. My only request for a future version is a chapter on futures, async, and asyn_await, which I have a hard time understanding, but seem to be the future of concurrent programming with Rust. I expect it’ll come in the future, though it might need its own book, too.
I only have that complaint because I’ve done enough poking at Rust to know about it; anyone unfamiliar with the development of futures won’t miss it here, and find it a super useful introduction to Rust. Highly recommended.

Good development, respectful to but not precious about its characters, and a good set up for the final chapter. Can’t wait to read it.
A bit dry, but refreshingly short, and mostly achieves its goal of leveraging the long history of and latest research into implicit bias, demonstrating the undeniability of its presence in us all. This has strong implications for how we treat each other, and how we ought to be critical of the outward manifestation of our unconscious and unexamined biases. While we are not all racist, we are certainly all prejudiced. This book does a good job of increasing awareness of these issues, and ought to leave any reasonably empathetic and self-conscious person skeptical about the underlying reasons their actions. High recommended.
