I picked this up because I enjoyed Harpman’s I who have never known men. I read this in the space of an hour; it was easy enough to get through, and left me thinking.
I’ll admit it was, at times, harder to follow than I expected. It’s written in quite a soulless way, as though the state of the world around the protagonist had long since taken its toll - and I suppose that was the point.
The concept of this was far more interesting than the story itself provided, but it was still eye opening in a way that made it feel closer to reality than it was distant from it; and, as others have described, prescient given the state of our world now.
2.75 as I wished this gave just a bit more information or description of people and timeline, and whether or not this was chronilogical.At times I struggled to follow whether it was the same protagonist throughout the whole story or not; I honestly though they died in the second chapter.
