Wow, just wow. I did not enjoyed the brain rot this book gave me. In a lot of ways this book felt (because it is) as a political analysis and critique of our own word and operational social system. Yet, it feels so futuristic, so ridiculously far fetched, so far away from our actual timeline, but the book is like a 100 years old. I loved the political convection I had to this book but I didn’t feel that with the characters or even the narration. In some parts the narration and tone was really awkward, detached and messy, and in a way this things added to the story but they kin of threw me off pace when reading. Regardless, I feel like this book is really worth it to explore new ideas of what social control can look like and from where it comes.
