HN went crazy over 2048, which was a slop clone of Threes, something like 15 years ago.
So yes maybe it happens more often now, but it’s still not new.

Anyway it was an emotional read. I’m surprised I had never encountered the book before, since “alternate choices affecting how your life turns out” is a concept I’ve always been into. But on the other hand this one would not have been nearly as powerful to me earlier in my life. Me being the same age (or close enough) to the main character at the start is what does it, of course.
So, recommended, especially if you’re in your early-mid 40s.
Either of those two would work as a next read.
Note: (2004)
This is a bizarre conspiracy theory that you just invented. Stop making up things to get angry about.
No, actually, we decide things based on the law, not based on which side you like more.
Words mean things.
Sometimes I tell my teenage daughter “stop inventing things to be mad about”. Good advice for HN commenters, too.
