"“Wrong Way” is a novel about the self-driving-car business that feels less like a vision of the future than a dispatch from the present. The story is told from the perspective of Teresa, a forty-eight-year-old Massachusetts woman who responds to a vague “Drivers Wanted” Craigslist ad posted by a recruiter on behalf of a Google-ish tech conglomerate called AllOver. At her orientation, she’s shown a video advertising an AllOver driverless electric taxi called the CR. But each CR, it turns out, has a human backup operator stashed inside, hidden from passengers, watching the road on a video screen. With its corporate machinations, creepy secrets, and low-ranking Everywoman protagonist, the novel seems, at first, like a standard-issue techno-thriller. But, just as the CR’s futuristic façade conceals something distinctly less high-tech, “Wrong Way” reveals itself to be something with a much lower heart rate: a leisurely novel of day-in, day-out gig work in the greater Boston area. The most memorable passages are not about self-driving cars but about other humans, and what it means to share a world with them."</a></label><br><a href="https://friend.camp/system/media_attachments/files/111/648/217/994/179/406/original/7ac57fefdfe18aed.png" rel="external">https://friend.camp/system/media_attachments/files/111/648/217/994/179/406/original/7ac57fefdfe18aed.png</a></li><li><article><header><div>Domain not in remote thumbnail source whitelist: media.newyorker.com</div><h5><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/best-books-2023">The Best Books of 2023</a></h5><div> from <span>The New Yorker</span></div></header><div>The New Yorker’s editors and critics choose this year’s essential reads in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.</div><footer></footer></article></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
