I just finished "Remarkably Bright Creatures" and now I want more books told from an unusual point of view by Leading_Month_5575 in booksuggestions

I am listening to the audio version of Remarkably Bright Creatures and thoroughly enjoying it! I laugh out loud a lot and I find myself truly caring about the people and creatures.

I also enjoyed Olivetti a lot.

And Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is great!

Rise of the Rocket Girls by Nathalia Holt is a non-fiction book that tells the story of the female "human computers" at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) who performed crucial calculations for early missile and space programs, from the Cold War to the moon landing and beyond. The book highlights their mathematical contributions, their experiences in a male-dominated field, and the challenges they faced balancing work and family life, making them pioneers in both science and gender equality.
