Thank you to Netgalley and ECW Press for a copy of this book.

A small contingent of diverse soldiers emerge from a bunker in Canada to find the world changed utterly. All man-made objects are stacked and organised together; for example, every single plastic spoon in one giant, organised pile.

This is a smart comment on consumerism and environmentalism. Panhuyzen also tackles a large variety of issues included sexism and racism, particularly in the Canadian military. While obvious these comments never feel heavy-handed, i actually felt some things could have dealt with going more in depth. Characterisation could also have been more (admittedly, this is a literary novel so characterisation wouldn't really be the point).

Overall I enjoyed this book and will look out for Panhuyzen's work in the future.
