Camp Zero begins as a disjointed story told from three vastly different perspectives in a dystopian world we know next to nothing about. It ends as an expertly woven masterpiece that explores identity, family, patriarchy, exploitation, and ethics in a world ravaged by capitalism, climate crisis, and technology. I was more and more hooked as I gathered little nuggets of information throughout the story from each perspective. By the end,  I had the entire picture, and it is utterly human. This book is profound in a deeply humbling and real way. Here’s hoping for a sequel!
