- I am a big fan of Phillips’ atmospheric horror. With HUM, she takes it into the near future with incredible results.
- What a time to be reading this particular vision of the future, which feels about nine seconds away from right now with the rise of AI, constant surveillance, and online viral notoriety.
- Phillips is also excellent at evoking the horrors of motherhood. Even as someone without my own children, I found myself losing my breath as May rode the rollercoaster of this plot.
