This feels incredibly dystopian

I love dystopian novels, so maybe I should give it a go.

I'm constantly finding myself pretty deep into a book and a conversation happens and I have no idea who one of the people are. I'd love a way to just ask my Kindle "who is Uriah Heep?"

Thank you for your comment. As others have pointed out, there is a non-zero chance that it may lead to a decrease in concentration, but the reverse may also be true. I think it would be better to actually try it and see if it fits your skin or not.
