This is an odd duck. Not in a bad way, but it wasn't necessarily what I was expecting. Lethem seems to like slightly subverting the readers expectations throughout the book, which he does mostly successfully. I'd describe this as a sort of "cozy distopian future" book of that is such a thing. I would say this is worth a look if you're interested in distopias and want to see the subject approached differently
