21st century neogothic, with a dollop of dayglo surrealism on top.
This short little book is full of delicious cynicism, punctuated by moments of insightful self-loathing too brief to forestall repayment in metaliterary justice.
And speaking of metaliterary, I read most of it doing overtime fielding calls from the disaffected victims of late-stage capitalism.

This is not a thriller. This is a surrealist 1984-like book about tourism and corporations. I did not enjoy it.

Super interesting premise and first 100 pages but the boring main character & weird execution made it hard to finish.

Very entertaining, slightly absurd, with a surprising ending. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I'll keep my review short. :)
