While Finna was a great piece of capitalist satire through the lense of young adults in the midst of relationship challenges, Defekt feels more intimate. While Defekt still critiques capitalism it also takes one corporations and the sense of destroying any sense of personal self outside of work mixed in with light sci-fi horror and queer goodness.

I liked Finna much better, but this was cool, too. Didn't find Derek particularly likeable, and the plot didn't really seem to go anywhere except to explore Derek's development -- which was fine, too. Just not as much adventure as in Finna.

2.5, really.
