A great, thought provoking book that just was not my cup of tea.  Definitely dystopian with showing us a side of the world that it could turn into if we’re not careful and thoughtful about what we do and how it impacts our future. I did not care for the world building for a book of this size - maybe more for something larger than just this novella.  Really interesting to see what the author did in the end with the plot twist.
