Just finished reading Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

Emma is the first literary victim of what we might now call β€œsocial media disorder."

If she lived today, Emma would be scrolling through Instagram at midnight, consumed by curated glimpses of other people’s lives, and always imagining that they are somehow happier and live more exciting lives than she is.

She is basically the kind of person that makes Mark Zuckerberg immensely happy.

Finished "Murderbot Diaries, All Systems Red" by Martha Wells.

First part of short sci-fi stories about an "improved human", aka cyborg, who would only like to spend the days watching entertainment channels & as little amount of time interacting with humans as possible, whom it's supposed to protect.

I found the personality of the cyborg funny, but the story is quite simple & I'm not a big fan of the first-person narrative.

Still, decided to start part 2!
