Most of the political aspects took a backseat in my brain majority of the time, but I was definitely less cynical and more hopeful in a way by the end. In the acknowledgements, the author describes the book as “escapist, trauma-soothing, alternate-but-realistic reality. Not a perfect world—one still believably fucked up, just a little better, a little more optimistic”, and I think they accomplished that, at least with me.

This book is what the author calls a parallel universe that "needed to be escapist, trauma-soothing, alternate-but-realistic reality. Not a perfect world - one still believably fucked up, just a little better, a little more optimistic".

This book is what the author calls a parallel universe that "needed to be escapist, trauma-soothing, alternate-but-reaistic reality. Not a perfect world - one still believably fucked up, just a little better, a little more optimistic". This book includes so many good things, starting with a female president.
