I found this book very hard to read in February 2025, but it was also so good. Bird's mom disappeared a few years ago, and he's not sure why. Her words are everywhere though: they've become the mantra of resistance to PACT, a Patriot Act-like government program. Ng offers us no easy answers in the book, but it certainly provides a lot to think about in this day and age.
