Whether you remain at the surface or dig a little deeper to get to the marrow (ha ha), Sourdough is enjoyable and entertaining.
Sloan writes intelligently about technology and programming, and perfectly portrayed the angst one usually feels when working for a tech company. Lois was relatable and grounded, even in the midst of extraordinary circumstances.
Sourdough touches on so many important themes: food shortage & convenience, artificial intelligence & its impact on society, community & belonging, the price of ambition, finding one's passion, and mental vs. manual labor.
Highly recommended read. One of my top favorites of 2017....more
I was torn between giving this book three stars or five, but it was Part 3 and the last few pages in particular that raised my rating.
It's a slow starI was torn between giving this book three stars or five, but it was Part 3 and the last few pages in particular that raised my rating.
It's a slow start and took me some time to get into, but my interest grew with each Part, and I'm not sure I would have appreciated the last if not for the mundane and dutiful first.
This book was written 90 years ago and it still resonates with me today. It's a book about rebelling expectations and duties if they do not suit us. It's deeply feminist. I loved every bit of it.
If you can get past the slow start and the somewhat antiquated language, I feel this is a worthwhile read....more
