Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

For what it's worth, I finished another book I mentioned (Strata by Terry Pratchett) on the way back -- it was way better.

Bah! I very seriously doubt it. I wasn't the biggest fan of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.. the book didn't really go anywhere or deal with the issues I was hoping it dealt with. It was an interesting story, and had some cool meaning, but ultimately I wasn't satisfied.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the book didn't really go anywhere or deal with the issues I was hoping it dealt with". I think it deals with a ton of issues, but it doesn't resolve them explicitly, which is one of its greatest strengths. Basically everything Philip Dick does, leaves one in an uneasy, depressed, unresolved, thoughtful mood.
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and assume that nobody else will have it read by tomorrow, right?

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
