3/13/25 - Continued Dark Age

 Hello, feasyheads!

The weekend is in sight. Just one more day!

Today, like yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, I continued reading Dark Age. At least I'm more than halfway through. 

Now let's get to today's pick from the to-read list. It's called Jennifer Government, by Max Barry, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. The book is a clear dystopia where the world has turned ultra-capitalist, and employees' last name is the name of their company (hence the name Jennifer Government.) The story is about Hack Nike, your average lowly merchandise worker. He is offered a contract by executives of Nike, and quickly signs without reading the bottom text. He finds out that the job he needs to carry out is shooting up teens in order to build up street cred for a new line of Nike shoes. Naturally, he goes to the police, who hand the case over to the NRA (still not sure what it stands for) and Hack meets Jennifer Government, an agent with a personal vendetta with John Nike, the boss of the other John Nikes, which were the executives who offered Nike his contract.

This seems like a good read because occasionally, I like to read dystopian novels with a future close to our age, and an absurd world. I still don't know much about the book, but if I ever get a chance to read it, I definitely will.

All for today. Pull through to the weekend!

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,
