I’ve always really enjoyed books that play with time and space, and The Chosen Ones, by Veronica Roth, is at the intersection of many of favorite ideas and genres.
Over the course of the past year, participating in book clubs at my local library, one of the things that came up was video conferencing etiquette around pronouns.

Today, many times, my eighteen year old son flew past the house on his motorized scooter wearing slides and no helmet, doing wheelies in the rain. I debated internally whether to call out to him to put a helmet on, and maybe proper shoes. He is of age, and he knows how I feel about safety.
