4.0

read this as a satire of 80s consumerism, hypercapitalism, wall street bros. i took a long long time to complete this because it was, frankly, disgusting in its lengthy descriptions of bigotry and violence, some of which was the point, some of which seemed gratuitous. if you can stomach that, i’d recommend it, if you’d rather read something shorter and less gross, just watch the movie.
