I think in terms of social commentary novels, this reminded me a lot of MT Anderson’s Feed. Another book I felt was very well done but didn’t necessarily “enjoy.”

I think if you have any sort of moral compass, you will find this book deeply, deeply upsetting not because of how outlandish it seems, but how facets of it could ostensibly creep into our world and we’d just accept it because it would entertain us.

I thought about the NFL about a thousand times while reading this book.
