I really loved this book a lot, it was super weird and definitely  hard to follow a couple times but I love this genre of specfic with like the alternate race and how we would treat real aliens, and I lost it at the part about Spongebob that was so clever and really placed me into the world. I also loved the Greenland shark details and everything, I was confused about the coup and like the underground lambda uprising or whatever. It feels very slice-of-life, very matter of fact writing on a really interesting moment in time. Definitely Literary SF
