Bone chilling. The last four words are like a gut punch. Not a lot happens plot-wise but that's okay because the world is just so intricately woven and expansive, and leaves very little untouched. Incredible read that will make you contemplate for hours. So many concepts are introduced that very well exist in the real world that one wouldn't think to notice or be able to put words to, and this book puts words to it.
