📚 Uh. I have no idea how to review this book. I liked it? It was horrifying? It was hyperreal, surreal, too real?
📚 I hated everyone in this book and it was great.
📚 McElroy skewers everything from influencers to tech startups to beauty culture to cults themselves - and somehow it all feels fresh. Minus a bit of a lag around the middle, I needed to know what would happen next because I didn't know what might be on the next page.
📚 Honestly though, the best dystopian fiction is the kind where you could envision it actually happening, and that is absolutely true with nearly everything that happens in THE ATMOSPHERIANS.
