ambershelf 's review for:

Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
3.0

3.25/5 eARC gifted by the publisher

“At first, we all got kind of sucked in. But when you pull away, it starts to seem like madness."

What I liked
-the dry humor
-interesting anthropological facts and philosophical musings
-political commentary - especially on left vs right, horseshoe theory, different ways of progressiveness. This might be the most political book on the longlist and I appreciate how relevant these concepts are. Even though they made me a bit pessimistic about humanity’s future
