I think I need to reevaluate most of the other books I have ever rated as 5 stars on this app because oh my god. This was incredible and it resonated very very hard with me at the point I'm at in my career right now. I want to recommend this to almost every academic I know and especially everyone who is thinking about going into teaching, and I want to acquire a physical copy of this so that I can own it forever.

I love Mira Grant's writing; this one is only not 5 stars because I'm nitpicky about aliens and some of the inaccuracies about astrophysics research bugged me. Would recommend to anyone who does not do this as their job.
