hmm it;s a pretty random assortment to pull recs from but i always find myself coming back to stolen focus in conversation as a primer of social media and technology today. thats the sort of book that i see get excerpted in ppls substacks and thinkpieces esp as people at large are starting to get more critical of techs role in society and culture. but that might be a bit on-the-nose for an indie web denizen

other similar nonfiction pulls that stuck w/ me: the immortal life of henrietta lacks is a really powerful story ab biomedical science and scientific racism.. anyone familiar w/ HeLa cells or academia at all shoudl read it imo. four thousand weeks is Okay-- good self=help book for ppl cynical about self help/time management books

re; novels (sloppily including both auto-fiction and fiction here...) i really liked american bulk, bestiary, in the dream house, and wound. i found all of those to be really powerful in their own ways

@batqualia thats crazy bc i actually just finished reading stolen focus today. your other suggestions sound pretty interesting as well; i'll be sure to check them out if i can!

thank you, that is so kind!!!! I haven't thought of adding a guestbook, I shall add that to my todos
