The Pit and the Pendulum

By Edgar Allan Poe

4 stars

Poe gets better and better with every read.
Polynation: A collection of poetry by Fa'afetai Ta'asē

From Under the Overcoat

By Sue Orr

4 stars

I really liked Orr's modern retellings of classic short stories. Her recontextualisation of the classics into a modern-day Aotearoa feels ripe for study! As a stand-alone text, the compilation of stories works well--I thoroughly enjoyed my reading of the collection!
Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

By Sarah Wynn Williams

5 stars

Careless People captivated me! Right from the first anecdote about Mark Zukerberg running away from a conference in South America, I was hooked. Williams' insight into the insidious tech industry not only made me examine my own habits with new eyes, it also made me question the role that technology plays in both society and government. Williams' narrative voice is on strong display throughout the book. She brings her honest perspective as an outsider to both American culture and Silicon Valley morals, revealing the rot within. Her experience navigating the pressures of her job alongside her personal life makes the vast scale and influence of the tech industry come home to roost in the mundane. Careless People is a must-read for Kiwis, Americans, people spread across the globe, people who use social media, people who work with technology, mothers, fathers, young adults, teens, and anyone else who has brushed up against the might of Meta.
