![]() There are times when we have to let go of our desire to want to control everything and let nature do its thing. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore, Sloan shows us that not every problem can be solved with technology. In any case, Lois’ adventures with her Sourdough starter take her on a unique journey into San Francisco’s hidden food scene. It takes on a life of its own, which, then again, may not be that unusual for people familiar with sourdough starters. The catch is that this isn’t your ordinary starter. Her job has forced her into a serious life-work imbalance, with work winning out, until she is given ownership over a Sourdough starter. Much like his first book, Sourdough’s main character is a young 20-something software engineer working in San Francisco named Lois Clary. ![]() ![]() A nudge from one of my top recommendation sources, Brad Feld’s blog, nudged it to the top of my reading list earlier this year. It was released in 2017 and languished on my 2018 reading list. Given how much I liked his debut novel, I was looking forward to reading his second book, Sourdough, or Lois and Her Adventures in the Underground Market. They occur when we connect with and engage our friends to help us solve problems and find the answers to what we’re looking for. ![]() I loved how he showed that life’s real adventures are the ones that don’t rely on technology. ![]() Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. ![]()
