DNF: The Evolving Self by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi π
A classic case of βThis book could have been a blog post.β Or a series of articles, to be fair. Good points, but kind of basic and overworked. For me, not enough thought-provoking stuff to spend more time on it.
DNF: The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders π
The writing is fine and the world-building is interesting. It just didnβt grip me. Moving on.

Finished reading: A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny π
βThis is more of a quiet meditation over a plain cup of coffee. A wish that we should not forget that technology is there to be used by us. Not the other way around. That streamlining just because we can is not always good. That the technology we create and use affects us and in some cases even controls how we develop. Sometimes it is good to do as Tom Waits sings: Take the long way home. Donβt run straight ahead just because it is the fastest way.β
