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

If you're looking for an engaging, character driven, maddening, furious, vivid and at times horrific depiction of the human condition under impossible odds, I beg you to give this a listen!

- 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
