Got a copy of this e-book from a giveaway, thank you so much!
The writing and the dialogue were a bit too stiff for my liking but the story was interesting and what ultimately made me stay. Capitalism structural violence as the real horror. Still, I feel it could've pushed the envelope a bit more.
I liked the resolution a lot, and was disturbed by the latter developments as much as the protagonist was— mostly because of the scale of things and the corporative horror of it all, not so much the treatment we saw of their last volunteer (Fuck pedophiles and rapists, there's no rehabilitation from that).
Mind the warnings before diving in.
