Usually when I finish a book quickly, it's because I loved it.

In this case, I will be finishing this audiobook quickly because I want off this ship and am doing the equivalent of skimming to get it over with.

Seriously, this book is so blatantly male fantasy its actually cringey. I've read much better in my free ebook collection.

The deeper I get into this audiobook, the more I'm thinking "This was a mistake."

Between the repeated and frequent male gaze sexism and the tech bro smugness, it's almost intolerable. I'm actually speeding up the audio past what I'm normally comfortable listening at because it means I get done with it sooner.

Not like I'm missing anything meaningfully of interest at that increased pace.

Reading in order to complete the alphabet for 2026.

Honestly, I had a different book lined up for this, only to learn it is nonfiction. Which isn't a bad thing, but I tend to only read one nonfiction at a time and I already had one on the go and the next queued. So this was the backup.

This apparently was written by a former Microsoft tech guy... And boy does it show in the writing so far.
