A review by woodiefrog
The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe

Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.

I really really wanted to love this book. All the premises are my cuppa 🍵 but gosh there’s just, such slagging narrative voices. I think the Memory Librarian is not a great choice to open with, def burned most of my mental energy. 
Great dust jacket writing, lukewarm take from theory to practice (falling back unto very cliched ideas of Big Bro technocratic dystopia), okay execution. And sadly, I was so sure the audiobook performance by Monáe would lift up the writing, it is not so imo in this case.
