The writing is interesting but good GAWD are the characters insufferable. The casual ableism/racism of their neolib life makes me want to throw up. How many times did I have to hear the author use the r word in such a causal way just to find out that she’s still figuring out ~how a person should be~
I read this book purely to read a book I paid money for. I don’t think I got anything from it nor do I plan to read it again.
If you like unlikeable characters, maybe you’ll like this
