I have a broad range of interests which is reflected in my reading. I generally read Sci-fi and Fantasy for relaxation, with some historical fiction.

A good follow up to the Parable of the sower. It is a tough read in our current environment but I didn't find it as hard as the first book.

This one took a while to read. Possibly more to do with life being busy and my headspace rather than a reflection on the book itself. I did enjoy the story but it seemed to take a while to pick up pace. That said, it all came together in the end. This book seemed to lean further into the technology than earlier books in the series, with more details of how ships are powered and maximum speeds (as examples).

Easy, enjoyable read that outlines the fall (snatching) of tech into the clutches of a handful of corporations intent of encapture/enclosure of tech/data and maximum extraction of value for their shareholders.
Some good explanation of the problem with obvious corporate examples and some of the drivers. Although as some others have mentioned it could benefit from some deeper history of the examples.
One potential contradiction that could have been explored is tech workers holding the line against enshittification for many years while at the same time being paid in large part with stock.
In general a great read and introduction to the problems to people outside the world of tech.
