“You would like to know more about this Sultana; your eyes nervously scour the pages of thin airmail paper as if you expected to see her appear at any moment…”

No, dear Author, I would not.

Good thing I’m a sucker for second person POV & books about books. 

I kept zoning out and needing to bring myself back in due to the descriptive sections. Typically this is something I love in books but just doesn't work for me via audio. As it is a rather short story, I think I might buy a copy & try again.
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

It's hard to have thorough opinions of the chronically online when you, yourself, are chronically online.

I thought I would be getting an insightful look into humanity and cognitive biases but instead received a book full of half-baked ruminations. They would have been better as podcast discussion topics.

I will mention that it is ironic she spends an entire essay discussing holistic therapists/practitioners and the ways in which they trick the public to worship their branding, while simultaneously, doing the same thing in a different field. 

I'd like to see more from the author once she has really nailed down the art of thorough investigation.
