The go-to for these types of memoirs is witty, but Komail's prose truly integrates a sharp wit within a compelling life story that has incisive commentary on multiple cultures. The writing is just *good.*

Kara Swisher seems to attract a lot of ire from my circles of social media, claiming she has spent a lot of time being a stenographer to power for Silicon Valley oligarchs, or at least a useful tool in their PR machine. But if that's the case, Swisher seems to be trying to morph her career into something else and the result is a memoir that's pretty interesting to me regarding the threat wealthy titans of tech pose to us in the 21st century.

I do wish she would rely less on the Arrested Development "Narrator: Contradiction of the above statement" meme.

Completely enraging and eye-opening regarding the persistent use of medieval forms of imprisonment to control women no matter how much stardom, wealth, and fame they acquire.

This got tremendously overhyped for me as a book that may actually address the root of time management issues under our social and economic system, but instead it read a lot like "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***," if that book were written by a snooty guy who was afraid of profanity.
