It was an enjoyable read, but it felt like there’s were too many themes being tested at once and that led to it being more cryptic when it should’ve just had one major theme.

A great, thought provoking book that just was not my cup of tea. Definitely dystopian with showing us a side of the world that it could turn into if we’re not careful and thoughtful about what we do and how it impacts our future. I did not care for the world building for a book of this size - maybe more for something larger than just this novella. Really interesting to see what the author did in the end with the plot twist.
