While Finna was a great piece of capitalist satire through the lense of young adults in the midst of relationship challenges, Defekt feels more intimate. While Defekt still critiques capitalism it also takes one corporations and the sense of destroying any sense of personal self outside of work mixed in with light sci-fi horror and queer goodness.
