Oddly enough, I decided to start reading the book at the exact moment that I was getting the oil changed in my car. That doesn't really sound all that crazy, but when you realize that this book makes you stop and think about the comings and goings of individuals, I don't think it could be more appropriate. From the first sentence, I was instantly hooked. I wanted to know what made this person tick. I wanted to know why this person saw the world in the manner that they did. Pleasantly surprised, I was able to find the answer to both of my questions as each page found itself getting closer and closer to the cover, as my fingertips flew fast as my eyes yearned to see what was behind the corresponding sheet of paper.

In the tradition of Albert Camus' The Fall and Vladimir Nabokov's The Eye, K.I. Hope navigates the internal workings of one mind as it steadfastly trims and skims speech in the main medium of modern communication: the Internet.As new content is created constantly online, who shapes what we ultimately see? Speech may be free but it is still limited in scope, and those boundaries are further defined not by the government, but the platforms used for expression. Being subjected to terms of service is only the beginning, as the consequences of limiting language extend beyond the screen, spreading across cities, silencing certain parts of society from speaking on the issues that affect them most.We Are Making The World A Better Place traces the narrative of a person who is in such employ, as they remove words with all the fervor of a zealot, hell bent on bringing every conversation to a quiet, harmonious conclusion.
