Some or all of those vignettes will probably trigger a memory in you, probably from a time that you can barely remember… which has become something of a specialty for Simon. We get glimpses of a day spent watching a VHS tape on UFO’s, a walk through the woods, a day at the beach, a quiet day inside reading comics and watching TV, a brawl between a friend and his brother, and losing himself while listening to a cassette with a friend. Because that’s what this comic is about: a six month span in 1995 (found that bit out from Simon’s website) when he was trying out different friends and what was and wasn’t OK to say to them. Here, I’ll even give you a short review to make it easier: I liked this comic, and you probably will too, assuming you have normal human feelings and a memory of how confusing things were back before you knew all the rules of social interactions. I’m going to end up trying to make a bigger point about the nature of art and minimalism, so be warned, and maybe abandon ship on this review while you’re still able if that sounds insufferable. If you’re lucky, throughout your lifelong journey, you’ll even discover new things that make you who you are. It was reassuring to see how far she had come as well as reflect on my own changes. I was able to recognize her thought process which included hopefulness, doubt, hesitation, and challenges when facing the unknown future and life on a day to day basis. We both graduated college in 2005, and I had really sheltered myself from people and the world. I didn’t think I’d be able to relate much to her aside for my love of hiking and the outdoors, but I found that her innocence and naivety matched my own at the time. As an ode to her major in Classics and a nod to Homer’s Odyssy, she took the trail name Odyssa and discovered that she is a traveler, a hiker, a devout Christian, and a lover of the woods and mountains. Through trails, trials, and tribulations, Jennifer didn’t find where she was going, but she did find who she was. Time on the trail would show her where to go next in life– or so she thought. As a recent college graduate, she had a world of possibilities ahead if her. Just those two points could make people shy away from the idea of doing any long hike. She had never done a lengthy thru hike and began the trail on her own. Starting in Spring atop Springer Mountain in Georgia and ending on Mount Katahdin in Maine, Jennifer hike the full 2,175* miles of the AT in four and a half months. Working against an impossible deadline, he begins his feverish carving. Living at the foot of his misshapen block of marble, Michelangelo struggles until the stone finally begins to speak.

Michelangelo is a virtual unknown when he returns to Florence and wins the commission to carve what will become one of the most famous sculptures of all time: David. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-twenties, desperate to make a name for himself. Leonardo was a charming, handsome fifty year-old at the peak of his career. From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence.

The second section of the book demonstrates how surveillance capitalists use the behavioral surplus to create “behavioral futures markets.” (96) Simply put, surveillance capitalists use this data to predict human behavior and sell these predictions. Surveillance capitalism was born when technology firms realized they could make money using this behavioral data. The first part is mainly descriptive, demonstrating how companies like Google and Facebook discovered what Zuboff calls the “behavioral surplus.” (63) This surplus is the data surveillance capitalists accumulate when consumers use their services. The book lays out its argument in three sections. The message is clear: if surveillance capitalism continues on its present course, human freedom and agency might disappear from the face of the Earth. Zuboff, Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School, argues that her book is an “effort to understand surveillance capitalism and its consequences.” (17) To accomplish this, the book waxes and wanes between vivid descriptions of exploitative digital surveillance practices and abstract philosophizing about the nature of human freedom in a surveillance-filled world. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff is an impassioned warning about the dangers associated with commercial surveillance. Dick, its passages of prose poetry Edgar Allan Poe, its wry fatalism Jim Thompson. The novel’s three parts are in the first, second, and third persons, respectively its milieu recalls Philip K. VanderMeer, founder of the sf-fantasy small press Ministry of Whimsy, is nothing if not adventurous. Her ex-lover Shadrach, who grew up in subterranean Veniss and escaped to the surface to better himself, then sets out to find her, Nicholas, and, eventually, Quin. When Nicholas disappears, his twin sister, Nicola, tries to find him after acquiring a meerkat herself, as a gift, she is all but killed by. Living Artist wanna-be Nicholas wants a meerkat and is prepared to work for the prodigious Quin, greatest of Living Artists, to get one. If you can afford them– and as always, few can–you can have manufactured creatures to do whatever tasks you set them. In the far future, on an Earth of many-leveled cities, such as Veniss, and man-made deserts, the bioengineering known as Living Art is burgeoning. The news that Strout was writing a sequel was music to the ears of readers who fell in love with Olive the first time round, especially as she published both My Name is Lucy Barton and its follow-up Anything is Possible, to rapturous praise in the intervening years. To describe the work as a series of interconnected stories goes some way to recognising how the text functions, but it still doesn't quite do justice to Strout's portrait of this one woman and the community she's touched. In certain chapters she takes centre stage, in others she's only mentioned in passing, but as the reader makes their way through the book, their understanding of Olive – including her flaws and frailties – deepens. It's been 11 years since Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge was published, after which it was turned into an HBO mini-series starring Frances McDormand as Strout's titular cantankerous "old bag", a retired high school maths teacher in the small town of Crosby, Maine.Īlthough often categorised as a volume of short stories, it actually offer s something more than a traditional collection, because, even though it jumps between the lives of different characters, they're all strung together – some more closely than others – by Olive's presence. From New Delhi to New York, Copenhagen to Los Angeles, Australia to Syria to Paris, Dora’s chapters trot the globe, inhabiting the perspectives of her missing brother, her estranged daughter, her erstwhile lover, and her last remaining friend, among others in her orbit. Like a twenty-first-century Scheherazade, Dora spins stories to ward off her end. Alone in her London home during the pandemic, she creates, and is in turn created by, the fascinating real characters from her own life. She is determined, however, to finish her final book, and reverse her fortunes, before time runs out. It’s hard to think of anyone who has a better grasp on the world we live in (and I mean, like, the entire planet) and can write about it with such entertainment and panache.” -Gary Shteyngart Dora Frenhofer, a once successful but now aging and embittered novelist, knows her mind is going. “When a Tom Rachman novel lands in the bookstores, I stop living and breathing to devour it. From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Imperfectionists, the story of a chameleonic writer, and the indelible characters in her orbit, in a novel about love, the power of art, and what we leave behind.
