The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow
4.0
Corny at times, but I'm giving this 4 stars because:
- Detailed descriptions of what people were eating. I love that the book highlights the importance of food in organizing, community building and cultural expression, as well as a source of nourishment and pleasure.
- Relevance to the present moment. This book is a timely exploration of where we go from here
- Nostalgia. I spent much of my adult life living in California, and while I no longer live there, this book feels like California. It takes place in Burbank, and it captures some very California-specific, 2010s/2020s ambiance.
