Mao II by Don DeLillo takes on themes of the artist’s place in social consciousness and the individual vs. the hive mind of mass movements. Great themes but something gets sacrificed in story to make the thematic points. Full review here. #booktwt #books youtu.be/4UyB8UNr5q8?...

The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee. A dystopian science fiction blending genre between samurai fiction and cyber punk. More of a thematic novel than it is a science fiction. A good but not great read. Full review linked here. #booksky #books youtu.be/IYEc-Ucmtww?...
