An absolute triumph... Giddings conjures up a world that feels familiar, despite the increasingly creepy hints of dystopia. And along the way, she shows what the anti-witch crusaders really fear most: our ability to create a better world if we work together.

I just bought my mom a copy of THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES by @m_older for her birthday. My mom loved Malka's novel Infomocracy, and she's also a lifelong fan of Dorothy L. Sayers mysteries. So I know she'll love this murder mystery set on Jupiter — and I bet you will too!
