The Hudson
by Frances F. Dunwell

book cover


Overall a very good read. A little long and dragging at times (it’s a long and detailed book) but excellent comprehensive history of the Hudson River. I especially enjoyed the early revolutionary history! But all of it was interesting and I learned a lot!

Once again, Sarah Graves tells a story that is intriguing and and thoughtful, while adding some humor between the two main characters, Jake and Ellie. Her writing makes the reader truly think about how? what? why? On to the next one!

It was OK slow start

Careless People: A Story Of Where I Used To Work
by Sarah Wynn-Williams
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A juicy tell-all memoir about the author's time at Facebook and the incredible greed and ruthlessness at these tech companies that exist to exploit the worst aspects of human behavior. Their influence on global politics has become something we cannot ignore. The book was often times unstructured and difficult to follow, but I was happy to purchase a copy since Zuckerberg had tried to ban it.

The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami
View in Library Catalog
book cover


If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

The River Is Waiting

book cover


Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)
