I randomly picked it out from my library only knowing it was science fiction. Loved the structure.
I really loved how the relationship between Katie and Dan changed over the course of the events unfolding and
There were only a few things I didn't love: I found some of the parts, especially parts where a lot of stuff was happening, difficult to visualize,

- this, like, says things about society. they really spent a lot of this book talking about the holocaust actually and i just don’t think it needed to do that. with that, i know the novel is called devolution. but i’d didn’t like how much they talked about it
-the alpha sasquatch was characterized as a girlboss. all the other sasquatches were characterized according to what downton abbey character the narrator thought they were most like
- squatch smashes a tesla
- an ipad is sort of an important character
- nathan fillion narrates part of the audiobook
- i’m reeling from the epilogue
The first half of the book is sooo slow um but beyond that like it really is the book it promised it would be. And I chose to use my limited focus to start and complete the audiobook. which ultimately does says things about society checkmate
