The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I love Adrian Tchaikovsky and this newer dimension-spanning epic has all of his fabulous upsides, like really cool ideas + technology, brain melting twists, and great characters that I really cared about - but unfortunately this book dragged quite a bit compared to some of his earlier work - I think it could've been 20% shorter.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
