I hate to say it, but I'm about to give up on #RichardPowers "Gold bug variations". I absolutely loved #Overstory and #Bewildered, and mostly adored #Playground.

But this one is dense. Lots of complex sentences and non-stop clever metaphors. I find myself re-reading pages several times to understand them. The story and characters feel secondary to the allusions and florid description.

10% in, and that may be my limit :/

“This is not our world with trees in it. It’s a world of trees, where humans have just arrived” –Richard Powers, The #Overstory

#RicochetMedia has spoken to over half a dozen current and former OMG employees for this story (who have requested anonymity for fear of retaliation), a spokesperson for the newly formed employee union and Mohamed himself. We’ve listened to a leaked audio recording of a Dec. 5 all-hands meeting and confronted #Overstory management about a surprising number of #discrepancies in their public statements.

Overstory media have bought all our independent #bcpoli news agencies and fired every journalist speaking truth to power in a world of lies.

All the journalists I’ve respected in this pandemic have been bought & fired by #Overstory Media.

True journalists would be investigating their funding & purpose, but that would just get them fired as well.

Their aim is clearly to clean news media of all dissenting opinions of our govt, paving the path for another #bcndp campaign of lies. #partisannews
