2.0

Jules Verne's hyperfixation novel about the moon, also about America's hyperfixation with ballistics. Also Americans are a monolith, apparently. I recommend this for anyone who loves reading textbooks--including chapter after chapter of mind-numbing mathematical equations, listening to men talk very vehemently about things they are blatantly wrong about, and anyone who thinks shooting a cannonball to the moon is a good idea. Also, maybe anyone who thought the billionaires dying in that submarine was deserved. You may like this.
