Less of a narrative-driven approach this year, and more of a raw data feel. It made it easier to write (2022's post remains a Draft 😅) but also created a format closer to the dashboard I ultimately want. Plus, I could capture more data, from more varied sources, more easily.

Immunization rates of 95 percent or higher are requi…

People are absolutely polarized on whether they loved or hated this 2023 Booker Prize winner. I loved it, but I listened to the excellently performed audiobook, so I was spared the criticisms of excessively lengthy paragraphs and non-obvious dialogue demarcations.
As for the story, the slide into a totalitarian state and the heart-wrenching repercussions for an ordinary family ensnared in the fallout is really well done. It is brutal.
