A quick, fun, but largely forgettable story about forming community and identity in "late-stage capitalism." While the book had a bunch of entertaining twists and turns, I felt like whatever its broader message was fell kind of flat. Might make an interesting movie one day.

There is extremely interesting sociology being explored by this book, but it feels underdeveloped and told by over-performed characters. Had to force myself to get through the first 3/4 as much as i wanted to like it.

Just not interested in picking it back up. I don't think dystopia is for me any more

This was either satire/existential commentary that didn’t go deep enough, or sci-fi with no world building. Ok concept but just didn’t know what it wanted to do with itself.
