This book was certainly written in an educated way, but the formatting made it hard to absorb the information given, especially in moments of dialogue. This book consists of a few stories that take place in the same universe/society, yet there seemed like such a disconnect from each story to the other. The stories never felt like they came to a conclusion before moving on to the next, and I was left wondering if/when I would be given a resolution, when none ever came. I do think the ideas behind the book were good ones, but I would’ve rather had a bit more in order to enjoy this book.
