Was prepared to hate-read this but halfway through I'm surprised at how little I'm cringeing at the plot, which is basically every undercover-cop-infiltrates-anarchists shitshow of the last 25 years mushed together in thinly-veiled-Tarnac... I could imagine many different directions for this book that would fucking enrage me and very few that I would find satisfying, but Kushner is a good and understated writer so I'm curious to see where it goes.

Didn't love this but at least it was short. Beautifully written but probably more interesting for someone who isn't totally obsessed with space/the ISS. Kind of expected more, I picked it cause it was shortlisted for Booker. That said it was a pretty relaxing read as someone who like, rewatches Cosmos to stave off panic attacks.

@astralstreeting yeah, the death stuff is intense!! if you are vibing on it I bet you could pick up the 2nd, I don't actually think the order of these matters too much now that I'm almost done 3. They're definitely not chronological.
