I listened to Ready Player One, Will Weaton makes the book, if you enjoy sifi I found it highly predictable but an enjoyable listen parts I had trouble getting through as it was very formulaic but as an easy listen good.

Wealth, Poverty and Politics; Zero to One; The Clash of Civilizations; Start with Why

If you enjoy biography I highly recommend Born a Crime by Trevor Noah.

Ready Player One is a YA novel, so your expectations can't be too high. There are a few aspects, look a romance, that aren't necessary, but are nevertheless included. The audio book version is (experience wise) miles above the book bc of Will Wheaton, I completely agree with D2.

I'm not done the book yet, but it's written in a way that makes it easy to envision as a movie.

Need advice. Leadership originally referred to us as Specialists. For the past month or so, they've been telling us we're Project Managers in absolutely no uncertain terms.

But they have told us flat-out (even when asked directly) that we won't get a salary change or even just a title change. What should we do? It seems unethical at the very least.

My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
