so much fucking happened in this book but i liked it. im saving any analysis for after i finish electric heir (even then analysis goes on my tumblr typically lol) but i think the commentary on socialism is interesting, or at least it could be depending on how its further elaborated upon --

the idea to take noam from a disgruntled/dissatisfies anarchist to an unhinged accelerationist doomer due to the manipulations of a power-hungry fascist, for instance, is a very interesting and resonant arc that im curious to see how it gets developed further in teh.

the characters are incredible and unique and so so fucked up. the plot is very compact, especially considering its like, what, 500 pages? or at least my ebook copy was lol, but anyways thats a pro for me because it shows that the author had a point and knew how to get there!
the main flaw isnt so much of a flaw as it is a personal preference. i hated the ya dystopia novel prose so much. which, obviously yes its ya dystopia the prose is gonna be befitting of the genre. that ones on me ! but you could see various glimpses of the authors ability to write genuinely good, sensorially & thematically resonant, creative prose shine through at moments before being swiftly crushed by genre and publishing expectations

i really enjoyed reading this book! i’ll be honest there were just a couple parts that bored me but there were so many more moments that intrigued me so much that i didn’t want to put the book down. this is the first book i used an audiobook for and it was really good! if you like audiobooks, i recommend it!
