We're back with season two! Let's kick it off with a book by one of Engineer Mike's favorites. Do they have enough bandwidth to get through the first few chapters? TW: SA, animal abuse, and a spot on JP impression. Digressions: Female protagonists being gross, Engineer Mike's primary source, the free art movement, 70's rock singalongs, everything coming back to "Neuromancer," Neoliberal economics dovetailing into pronatalism, and moving on from past works. Engineer Mike is reading: The Network Effect by Martha Wells Nina is reading: Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh (note, it's pronounced mosh-FEG)
