  2. Seventh book of 2024: “Titanium Noir", by Nick Harkaway ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62052321-titanium-noir). What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.

    cover of “Titanium Noir”, by Nick Harkaway, as I read it, hardback (which is black). Black block stencil TITANIUM along the top over a black stencil fedora containing a shiny metallic head, dripping onto more black stencil NOIR over a brilliant green field. The authors name and other blurb elements including a quote from William Gibson are in a monospace console font.

  9. I love views of downtown as I enter the city afar, and from hilltops and rooftops in the neighborhoods. But I always also imagine the following dialog with myself:

    "Wow, hard to believe people built all that over there”

    "Yeah, pretty neat! Do you want to go there? Maybe into one of those cool buildings?”

    “Nope.”

    “Do the people who live there like it?

    "Nobody lives there.”

    “OK, but at least the buildings are used to good stuff? Right?"

    “No, not really.”
