Gave Up Partway Through

finished reading Doppelganger by Naomi Klein

Naomi Klein: Doppelganger (2023, Penguin Books, Limited) 5 stars

Did the audiobook of this and enjoyed it enough to get a print copy for reference. In the best way possible it is basically Naomi Klein having an existential crisis, and it has been helpful for me thinking about the various existential crises of the day.

Clancy Martin: How Not to Kill Yourself (2023, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group) 3 stars

Content warning I mean it's a book about suicide so bear that in mind

finished reading Material World by Ed Conway

Was asked to write a review of this book (this is not the review, just me logging it). It's very weird to read a whole book about key commodities and supply chains that treats capitalism and colonialism as basically a tertiary angle of the narrative? There's a lot of well-meaning gee-whiz language here that I am maybe too cynical for. Some pretty good "how it works" type writing for complex industrial processes, though.
