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.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

The Unaccountability Machine by Dan Davies

This nonfiction treatise on systems, communication and accountability is bold in its breadth, smoothly written and researched, laid out in a confusing and silly way, occasionally under-edited, but also fascinating, fun, and particularly impressive at the end.
