    Wouldn’t 2nd person be more like

    “you decide to read the memo slowly…”

    The snippet above read like 3rd person present tense to me, which is still definitely unusual.

      Yeah, 2nd person is pretty rare. the “Broken Earth” books by NK Jemisen are 2nd person, if i recall.

        Interesting, only instances I can think of for 2nd person writing are those old “choose your own adventure” books.

        Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir is second person, and it uses it to aid in the disorienting style of the book
