Maybe don’t read this at the beginning of 2025 if you’re an American, this will not make you feel better. It’s well written and very easy to see how the America in the book came to be, and how it could happen in real life. It is a heavy book, tread lightly

dark reflective

3.5

I am somewhat surprised I finished this at all, because this kind of dystopia feels hopelessly possible and normally I hate that. But I think I related to the tension in Paxton - fighting the corporation versus personal survival, hating the job but still wanting to do it well. I also found the perspective of Cloud's founder interesting, because he presented terrible ideas in a very reasonable way. (Zinnia's parts were interesting for the suspense, but I know too much about corporate espionage to fully suspend my disbelief.) It was a blend of horrifying and relevant - strange, sometimes uncomfortable, but thoroughly fascinating.
