Pages 200-2011 were absolutely brilliant. Some of the best writing in the book so far. Humorous, deeply relatable, and brutally honest. I really wanted to read more but I got a whopper of a chapter coming up next. Oh who am I kidding, I’ll probably read it later today.

Lotta stuff being established, but I could visualize it perfectly in my head. The way Madame Psychosis and her studio is described at MIT is borderline cinematic. A dense chapter, but an enjoyable read.

The telephony/videophony chapter was fascinating and shockingly prophetic

I didn’t comprehend anything but I’m sure that’s the point (lol)

Very dense and technical dialogue. Did catch me laughing, but I was a bit confused over the greater overall point

Footnote 304 is incredibly dense, I struggled to get through it. Had to look up a summary, but I think I’m understanding this a bit more. The ETA stories are a bit dense, too. But everything else is enjoyable for the most part.
