Happy Place by Emily Henry is a heartfelt, bittersweet romance about love, friendship, and second chances. Harriet and Wyn, once the perfect couple, secretly broke up but pretend to be together during their annual Maine getaway with friends. Henry masterfully explores emotional complexities, nostalgia, and personal growth, weaving humor with heartache. The found-family dynamic shines, making the friendships just as compelling as the romance. While the miscommunication trope and slow start may frustrate some, the rich character development and immersive setting make it worthwhile. A poignant, beautifully written story that lingers long after the last page. 4.5/5 stars. 1 reply

"For one thing, if mechanization opened new vistas of comfort and prosperity for all men, it also destroyed the livelihood of some and left others to vegetate in the backwaters of the stream of progress. Change is demonic; it creates, but it also destroys, and the victims of the Industrial Revolution were numbered in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. (On the other hand, many of these would have been even worse off without industrialization.) By the same token, the Industrial Revolution tended, especially in its earlier stages, to widen the gap between rich and poor and sharpen the cleavage between employer and employed, thereby opening the door to class conflicts of unprecedented bitterness."
— The Unbound Prometheus
I believe the same will happen in the information revolution (aka the robotics, ai and decentralized finance revolution)
