I didn’t need a “pandemic book”

I really enjoyed Sax’s first analog book, The Revenge of Analog. This one felt to close to home with that book but some added avenues such as the city and soul. The pandemic narrative was tiring and probably the last thing I wanted to read about. It’s a tireless trope already and did not help this book. Lots of good things in this book but you’ll probably be better off with his first book with very similar ideas.
