This book sets out to give the reader a framework to apply to any projects they try to tackle. In that way, it serves as a good, well-researched reference book of tips and heuristics to apply when conceiving of and planning a project. Additionally, reading it through from start to finish is well-structured and enjoyable. I listened to it as an audiobook, and for that, the quality start-to-finish is definitely appreciated.

A good book for people who want to understand how large projects succeed and fail, project managers, and anyone who works with project managers and wants to cultivate a little more empathy for them.

One of Rachel Binx’s “most formative texts in thinking about corporate labor structures”

My dad told me a while ago about a writing assignment he had - memoirs disguised like other things - a recipe, an obituary, a research paper. This book delightfully interweaves the author’s experiences and feelings with each informative chapter. I’m going to see if my dad wants to read it

I’ve loved everything Yong writes, and this is no exception. I read nonfiction out loud to my partner, and he writes in a way that flows very smoothly off the tongue

I feel as though once I've gone through more therapy I'll understand better what this book is an allegory for. For now, it's an unbound allegory. I picked up this book expecting a space opera and got something much more akin to poetry. I don't despise the book for that. In fact, I have a kind of fondness for it. But I think I will one day have to revisit it and be more prepared for poetry when I do.

I’ve seen this on a few recommendation lists, so I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s about

A collection of great, heartfelt stories. As with most SFF short story anthologies I read, I had to take a break between stories to let my mind solidify on the new ideas they introduced
