Chickadees! I love hearing them. I really liked The Beautiful Bureaucrat so I will probably like Hum as well. Thanks for the reminder to add it to my TBR. River East River West also. 😘
It appears that the world of Hum seems very very close to ours now. Totally get your point about our tension with technology. I don't mind as much if we do with stuff like social media, but I remember how difficult it was to navigate new areas without without a smartphone 😂
There's an increasing assumption that everyone has a smartphone. You need a smartphone for some airlines, restaurants, etc. I don't think the world of Hum is far away. That's probably why its so believable.
@@sarah-roadworthy Interesting that you brought the idea of the increasing assumption up. I noticed that that is happening here in Malaysia. I occasionally spend some time at my village where many of the older or poorer folks don't own or know how to use smartphones, yet there's a push for more digitalization through QR, apps (which usually have issues!) etc. It can be quite frustrating...
@@SluggishReader My 80 year old father has been left in the dust. He refuses to use a cell phone. He is very dependent on my mother. Although he knows that he refuses to try and learn. Spending time with him makes me realize how much technology has encroached on our lives.
