Dove into this one on compute and didn’t regret it. Interesting. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. Good one to keep around when you want something casual.
