Amen to that. Of all scifi books to use as the “things have come full circle” closer, this seemed deeply ominous and disturbing to me. It’s like some sort of “this could go super cool or all come unglued” season enders.
I wish this guy the best of luck and hope it just gets better. The beginning to a happily ever after. But if the tragic ethos of 1984 is his victory lap, my anxiety worries there’s a darker sequel to this story a few years down the road.

To me, that's the win!
I still can't believe 1984 isn't required reading. I wonder if anything pertinent/worthwhile is any longer.

What does t/o mean?
"I just finished reading 1984." - No one ever finishes reading that book, per se. It reads you and then spits you out.
"and I still don't have a go-to growth channel" - no idea what that even means. Me and a couple of chaps have been running a little IT business in the UK for 20 years. We have around 20 employees and t/o about GBP1.5M. Nothing fancy. If you can pay the bills and sleep at night, I call that a win.
