Avoid your own brain rot, and read ‘Bit Rot’
As someone who has, at this point, read almost every easily accessible published work of Douglas Coupland, this book is something of a crescendo.

Mrs. Agent Palmer Reviews Sandi Toksvig’s Friends of Dorothy (and I helped)
I am familiar with Sandy Toksvig thanks to the popular British panel show QI (and its availability on this side of the pond thanks to YouTube). Sandy has been host of the long running show for many years, having taken over the position from actor and comedian Stephen Fry.
