A review by wormbroth
The Sheep Look Up by John Brunner

challenging dark funny tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

Beautiful terrible spectacular cloying vomit inducing. Narrative style reminiscent of Stand on Zanzibar by same author and told through newspaper clippings, radio talk segments, and fly-on-the-wall style eavesdropping. Almost no redeemable characters. Gnarly descriptions of poverty, addiction, race, gender, etc. But! No real buts actually- this is a great book following the natural conclusion of late stage capitalism and its effects on the US.
