I ended up really liking it! I really like how the author tackles transphobia in an alternative sci-fi future where people are free to use neo pronouns at the same time some species completely disregard the concept of gender or the need to be prescriptive.

I was so hype when a quote from Charles Yu's "How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe" was featured before the start of one of the chapters. The book make a deep impression on me when I was in a state of depression in middle school. bookwyrm.social/book/17241/s/how-to-live-safely-in-a-science-fictional-universe

I tried listening to this a while ago. I wanted to like it, but there were a lot of aspects to it steeped in cishteronomative whiteness that made me deeply uncomfortable.
I don't entirely remember if I finished reading it, but it was interesting from the bits I did pick up on. It really had me thinking about what it means to keep someone as a friend for long term life transitions.

picked it up after a friend recommended it. didn't listen to the whole thing super intently, but there were some cool facts about bees and how they organize that i'd never learned about before

I tried to read the first book from the original series but I found it extremely dry. I'm trying to read this without the context of the original series but it's still a struggle for me. Something about this author's style doesn't quite click. I'm still going to give it a try in hopes that it'll motivate me more to be interested in the world of the original series.

This was shared on the fedi a while back and I had it bookmarked. I'm almost done with this five hour audiobook, easy to get through in a few days. I was surprised with the writing, usually books like don't make me feel like I've learned anything new and just feel like a drag. Instead, "The Good Enough Job" takes an approach to critiquing capitalist-driven over productivity through personal stories that serve as case studies to unpack ideas like "the company is your family" or "your job should be your sole identity". It focuses on people in white-collar jobs that failed them and includes queer BIPOC narratives right off the bat.
