I"This book is meant for those whose belief has started to evaporate, and who are now thirsting for a narrative that speaks to their disillusionment. I write for those who are currently not in power, in the hopes that they’ll see the world differently, and from there go on to be part of something I could never have imagined on my own."
It's fascinating because I resonated so much with Wendy's coming into consciousness regarding the failures of capitalism and the radical falseness of meritocracy.
This was an affirming read about how easy it was for me to believe so effortlessly in a system that isn't fair, that exploits the most marginalized, and maintains a horrific economic divide between the haves and the have nots. Wendy's journey was humanizing because as an individual, it's so easy to feel paralyzed and immobilized by this fucked up way our society has oriented itself (with folks in these money making industries being the valiant soldiers that uphold these systems up for the ruling class). But reading this book gave me hope, validated my fears but also my goal that a better world is possible.
Wish this was a required reading for all the kiddos going into tech lol. ...more
