This was a solid 3/5 stars. I do like that it’s a murder mystery set in space, but it didn’t really  grab my attention.

I don't really go in for dark dystopia, but this was really interesting, and the discussions we had about it in class really made me think.

Some of the ideas in the book are interesting, like the metavirus and the Sumerian stuff, but Snow Crash is definitely worse than when I read it at age 14.

This was so poetic. It’s a story about mistakes and getting stuck and being yourself.

This was really moving. I didn’t know very much about Israel/Palestine until this, and this was very eye opening.  In particular, “Two Stories, So Many Stories” made me tear up.
