I read the qntm book in Dec. TIL: there's a whole, rad backstory here.

This scene is really arresting, which is how they get you. I kind of coasted through the book on this big idea.

The rest of the book felt like this scene playing out over and over on a bigger scale, with higher stakes, with roles switched around. It's hard to move a plot with this theme.

The book did a commendable job.But I was ready for it to be over when it was over.
