pick⭐⭐⭐/5
I read this book with a bit of a grimace on my face for most of it. It's a great commentary on publishers, cancel culture, the impact of social media, racism, jealousy and loneliness but I felt that it dragged on a bit too long (especially towards the end). As an academic this one hit quite hard - some of it felt extremely comparable to working at a uni and the publishing culture. Definitely worth a read
