M. Delafield. Hilarious. I was laughing out loud every few pages. Strong recommend. This was so like real life. * [Folding Beijing](https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/folding-beijing-2/), by Hao Jingfang. Interesting short story, although really I think it could have been half the length without losing much; the premise is not exactly complicated, and the story is really just a brief exploration of the premise. * Permutation City, by Greg Egan. Cool book! It's interesting to think about why I find the core premise implausible, but it certainly seemed novel to me. Pretty gripping. It seems to pair quite nicely with Robin Hanson's _The Age of Em_, which would be a nonfiction accompaniment. * Building Secure and Reliable Systems, by the Google SRE team. This is genuinely a textbook, so it's quite slow going. A lot of this is *very* Google-centric, where it's assumed that everything is a microservice and any given query to a service will require hundreds of RPC calls. However, the general lessons seem to be valuable.
