Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.75

Very informative and well researched. I'm very glad to have read this. The writing style was a little wanting for me, but data based non-fiction that has a lot to report always reads a little dry to me.

The Memory of Animals by Claire Fuller
Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.

Found the "Revisiting" too tangential to the story of this post-pandemic apocalyptic world. Got bored.

 An intriguing scattering of clues and mysteries that zip together to complete the story in a satisfying conclusion. The inclusion of neurodivergent characters was a little overt in its statements, but that's how it often is today as we all try to understand the people and world around us.
