If you want to experience the thrill of being in the antimemetics division I highly recommend* unmedicated ADHD.

I pre-ordered the hardcover when it came out. I've read it online dozens of times but I like books and supporting authors, and this specific one really ticks a lot of boxes for me, so I got a physical copy. The book came, I put it on the shelf, admired it, went about my life.

Then, months later, I saw a mention of the physical book online somewhere, and I thought to myself "oh that reminds me, I wanted to buy the hardcover when it came out!" so I did! The book came, I went to put it on the shelf, saw the identical copy already sitting on the shelf, and I just stood there for a minute with the book in my hand like "..." "..." "..." while I worked through what happened.

*- I do not highly recommend this.


I bought the kindle version of it a few years ago, my interest piqued I summoned it to the top of my list.

But my kindle is stuck in a reboot loop, and Amazon claims my edition of the book no longer exists…

It’ll turn up in due course, however I notice that Penguin have a version of the book out shortly.
