Such a satisfying reading journey. Straub's writing is sharp and on point. I actually highlighted sentences while reading. Add to that a storyline involving time travel back to the 90s and this book was such a treat.

It’s a mundane sci-fi that is a very enjoyable listen even though (or perhaps because) the protagonist (and the writer) is white and wealthy.

Relatable, amusing, heartfelt, profound. A modern but very human story.
