The food was gone. It wasn't a surprise to Zan, who had stretched the merger amount over more days. He needed to leave the safety of his solitude and face people, or brave the storm to check his traps which might be empty anyway. His preference would be to face a starving bear over people, but that would just be a complicated way of committing suicide and he had a promise to keep.

This month I'm trying to read as many books inspired by Frankenstein/Mary Shelley as I can.

Currently I'm about 100 pages away from finishing Pride and Prometheus and then it'll be onto Our Hideous Progeny (which tied for first in a poll I posted last month). It's an ambitious stack but I'm hoping to get through half of them lmao

5 SECOND REVIEW

* this story is the hardest way anyone has ever tried to "fake it till you make it"

* just wow

* imagine being able to convince seasoned business men, politicians, career military men, to give you literally hundreds of millions of dollars for what essentially amounted to science fiction, and just... take your word for it that shit works

* it's like go big or go home, but on an enormous scale and with serious consequences that can potentially affect patients' lives

* this whole story is astounding to me and i can't believe it Actually Happened

* i mean, genuinely, Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos went unchecked for YEARS, managing to dodge everyone who ever raised a modicum of concern, and got to the point where the company was valued at $9 BILLION, and the machine they were advertising wasn't even an early stage prototype, like... how do you manage to do this

* anyway, this was 👌👌👌👌

* 5/5 ⭐️
