Picked this up today. Based on what I have read so far, this is very well-written!
Good news: My book totally sold out from a warehouse! 🙌
Bad news: That temporarily shut down getting signed/personalized copies as a gift for the holidays 😧
Good news: We got more copies and you can now buy a signed book in time for Xmas if you order by Dec. 14th! 🎄

“Nanoplastics aren’t that bad for you, where’s the research, etc” is a really weird take from people who would claim to value common sense (or maybe I just browse websites with too many grizzled engineers).
Like… accumulation of tiny synthetic rocks in biological tissue needs to be proven as a bad thing, probably? Before we can judge it as something we should prevent?
Contrarianism for the sake of edginess, masquerading as rationality, is a really obtuse path for an ego trip.
"Grok" being the name for an AI chatbot is just the latest example of tech bros not understanding science fiction. In "Strangers In a Strange Land", the famous 1950's novel the term comes from, to "grok" something is to understand it on a deep level. AI chatbots, as we all know by now, do not grok—they bullshit.
I'm really tired of sci-fi terms being used by people who read the books and got nothing from them beyond “lol this word sounds cool”. (See also: “metaverse”.)
