Really intriguing plot, and the pacing was really slow in the middle, but I found the last 200 or so pages to be very intriguing. This was interesting enough for me to want to read the sequel. Maybe avoid if you don’t want to slog through a bunch of reporting style pages or a slow middle of the book.

My first audiobook! It was a bit slow but interesting to learn more about the emergence of the tech industry.

This book is out of my comfort zone, but I found it challenging in a good way. It was the shortest sci fi book I’ve ever read, and I missed some of the world building common in the genre. The plot was intriguing and I would’ve loved more about the space elevator its self, but it was impressive how much the author conveyed with so few pages.
