A review by blackmetalblackheart
Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny

3.0

This would definitely have received a higher rating from me if it was not for the problematic content. The use of the r-word, fat shaming, and treatment of sex workers all felt gross. Those things aside, the general idea and craziness of this book is super cool. Picturing the various ways the world works after the series of apocalypses is a lot of fun. The violence and irreverence of the book is also great when it does not include lazy and outdated humor. There is even one chapter wholly dedicated to telling a joke about a string. I have always enjoyed that joke, and it was fun to see the author take time in the middle of the book to elaborately tell it. For some, it may be hard to overlook the issues, but overall, I enjoyed this book and the world it presents.
