    I recently finished Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Trruelove. A little random but a fun read.

    I’ve just started Metal From Heaven by August Clarke, which seems like a really fun class conscious workers’ revenge story but I’m having a hard time getting into the almost poetic narrative style.

      Please let me know whether it has the typical “Their intentions were noble but their methods were wrong” ending or not once you’re finished reading it.

        It does not! I was pleasantly surprised. The author does a good job of illustrating the effects of material conditions on a person and the class struggles within a society without being heavy handed or preachy about it.

        The author’s acknowledgements even call out Marx, Federici, and Césaire.
