Review of 'Black Box' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I wandered into this book by accident. I didn't know what everyone else seemed to know in advance--that it was short, that it was tweeted originally, that it was even a story. I figured the last of these out first. Before that, I'd thought it was some kind of instructions in advance of a later story. I found the "observations" written as lessons original. Then I thought the protagonist reminded me of Anna from Manhattan Beach. A short time later I had finished it--a miniature construction like a kinetic high tech sculpture with a plot.
