Absolutely amazing. A must read. The writing is so so good, densely layered, frenetic, lyrical. It seems like a work that needs to be read out loud. I loved it. It wasn't an easy read but its so worth it.

this book is very dense, so much so that I had to listen to it twice to fully comprehend the story. I thoroughly enjoyed both listens, and I recommend it to anyone who likes speculative fiction; Orwell's 1984 meets the fiction of Monica Byrne.

This story tried too hard to be too many things. I couldn't keep up with the storyline, and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
