The Satellite of Love’s Librarian commented on The four by Scott Galloway
Still knee deep in the chapter on Amazon and I’d say a solid 50% of the books predictions have come to pass. The notable exception is the author’s belief (in 2017) that those ridiculous Amazon Go stores were going to take off
Death, for brands, has a name… Alexa
— The four by Scott Galloway (Page 52)
This aged poorly
In 2015, Amazon spent $7 billion on shipping fees, a net shipping loss of $5 billion, and overalll profits of $2.4 billion. Crazy no?

Yes, this is crazy (the author disagrees). No company should have the capability to bury competition in this way.

The history of retail is an oddly fascinating and incredibly tragic tale that, at this stage in its telling, seems like a good a reason as any to burn it all down
We require a second year so we can charge tuition of $110,000 vs. $50,000 to support a welfare program for the over educated: tenure

One of the things I enjoy about Scott Galloway is his willingness to turn a mirror on the flaws of the modern university system that he works in.

It’s non fiction time and this has been sat on my nightstand FOREVER.
The Satellite of Love’s Librarian reviewed Xenos by Dan Abnett (Eisenhorn, #1)
Still one of the best
5 stars
A lot of the older Black Library titles have aged poorly, Xenos is not one of them.
In a universe where the books are increasingly similar battle stories the Eisenhorn books stand out as solid detective novels in a universe that is bursting at the seams with mystery and intrigue.
The Satellite of Love’s Librarian reviewed Mortarion by David Annandale (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #15)
Weaker book for a stronger character
3 stars
Certainly not a bad read, but it’s definitely not among the best of the Primarch books. The greater shame is that Mortarion is one of the more interesting Primarchs and this book kinda phones it in.
