a astute study on surveillance, privacy, and information; the thriller aspect was more of a frenetic background hum that increased towards the end, and so much of it had me incredulous yet not surprised at the inner machinations of this society. i do think men still don't know how to write women's sexuality and this author is an example. also (tw: homophobia)

the comment bailey made that if every lgbtq+ person came out in countries that view homphobia as a criminal offense, it wouldn't be illegal because they wouldn't kill all those people was insane to me
