Episode 19: New Waves by Kevin Nguyen

To cut straight to the chase: Kevin Nguyen’s book New Waves is good but it could’ve been so much butter. In his debut book, Kevin Nguyen tackles many issues - racism in the workplace, big tech, the grief from the loss of a friend, interracial dating and the difference between the real and virtual lives. While the book takes on a lot of heavy subjects, it seems to just throw them to the wall and never quite connect the dots. In this episode, the hosts talk about all the interesting parts to this novel - the friendship between Lucas and Margo, the tech world and the role of race while complaining (lovingly) about things they wished had been included.
