I read it after seeing the movie. I didn't think it was serious at first because the movie was obviously a military industrial complex/fascism parody, but the book plays it straight, in a bad way.

Neither were good. I'd argue the book was better for what it is, which is 80s 90s nostalgia porn for Gen X/Millennials. The book was just a string of cultural references and the movie was just bland grey action in the vein of the transformers movies.
I agree. Transcription of audio is pretty good these days and this is definitely being done now. The charting workload of nurses and doctors is ridiculous and a huge time sink. Anything that gives them more time to be actually interacting with patients is a good thing in my book.
She was such a bag of dicks, wan't she? Pseudointellectual and edgy teenagers read it because it feels like a rite of passage to get through the bad writing and long drawn out meanderings, and it's controversial. Then you realize she's just an asshole...
