I mentioned it and hubs immediately went on an unhinged rant about something called rationalism, “a snowcrash style ocean flotilla cult,” and his trust fund friend who hates homeless people (in his defense he did get stabbed but I can also hear him in my head saying the kind of dumbass thing that would get him stabbed). I’m still lost so I’m just going to keep trying to finish Interesting Times by Terry Prachett which I got for $1 as a paperback at my library’s used book sale last fall.
