Where Are Those Sokovian Accords When You Need Them

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots

February 4, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Hmm this was definitely highly recommended by a number of people, but it ended up falling flat for me. I thought a lot while reading it as to why that was, and I think the conclusion is this: the motivations of the various characters, both primary and secondary, never seemed to resonate in a way that made me root for their successes. Anna/The Auditor, the titular Hench, works temp jobs doing data entry for supervillains. She’s all about The Data, in a way that reads […]

How ’bout we just keep this particular Circle broken?

The Circle by Dave Eggers

November 25, 2014 by Mrs Smith Reads Leave a Comment

I read The Circle back in August while on a family vacation in San Francisco/Silicon Valley. Needless to say this made Dave Egger’s exploration of life and culture in a dystopian, data-centric near-future all the more depressing. Mae Holland is thrilled when a good friend from college recruits her to come to work at The Circle. Mae starts at the bottom, as a call center customer service rep who fields calls from world-wide clients to help make sure their experience of Circle products and services […]
