"I’m intrigued by the world Huxton is building and curious to see where it goes. As far as dystopian novels go (comparing with handmaids tale and 1984) it has a way less menacing/ominous aura at least this far into the novel." — Jul 16, 2026 12:33AM

"Interesting to see how east and west coast banks took different strategies to disseminate and promote credit cards. Also funny to read the trial and error when Chicago tried to copy the California model of mailing cards direct-to-consumer and thieves exploited the opportunity. Classic chi town shenanigans." — Dec 13, 2024 04:42AM
