Finished reading: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
This story is so epic it deserves better treatment. Unfortunately, this narrative weaves in dozens of names and focuses on a few, almost exclusively black women and white men (with few exceptions, nobody else is even named).
It also wandered around the Civil Rights movement, but without a clear aim.
In the end, we were left with a thousand great story elements but no story. (The movie, however, is excellent.)
