Review: 2018.623 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: She invented something that really changed the universe for the better. I think.
Con: It’s just too confusing. All the talk about existing in the gaps between time, and paying in seconds, and different durations of time all being the same. It’s a bit like hearing relativity described by someone who doesn’t really understand it.
