Every week, Mission Local asks city residents one big question. Do you have a question you think we should ask San Francisco? Send suggestions to thebigquestion@missionlocal.com.
“Especially relevant to San Francisco, I guess, I liked Blood in the Machine. Itโs a book looking at the Luddite rebellion and kind of recontextualizing and comparing it to a lot of the employment and other practices of Big Tech today.” โ Cothron T., the Mission District
“I just watched every episode of โVeraโ. All those kinds of mystery shows have a format and this series is very detailed. Thereโs usually a very different outcome from what you expected, and she seems like a cool character.” โ Nancy SG., Pacific Heights
“My favorite TV show is ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ and I recommend it to everybody because it’s so funny. The characters are great, and the plotline really evolves. Plus Andy Samberg is from Berkeley.” โ Isla M., Pacific Heights
“Right now Iโm reading The Compound Effect. It’s about how little micro habits and little behaviors stack up over time. I know it sounds kind of boring, but it does help improve life.” โ Angie K., the Sunset District
“I’m really enjoying this Harry Bosch novel by Michael Connelly, The Narrows. I love his detective work, how thoughtful he is about how he goes through the murder book and tries to solve these cases for people who have been given up on.” โ Michael J., Pacific Heights
“Don Quixote, the latest translation. It has stories within stories, and it leaves you asking why we tell each other stories, what impact they have on our lives, and is your life just a story for someone else. Hmm, I guess you could say Don Quixote was the Elizabeth Holmes of the Middle Ages.” โ Diego A., the Sunset District
