The premise seemed intriguing but I just didn't like any of the characters and the writing felt confusing and/or stilted.

The characters treat their abuse as par for the course which just shows how messed up their society is.howdyhoward's review
4.0
A searing indictment of late-stage capitalism and how fighting to survive under present conditions is not only counterrevolutionary but will end up hurting yourself and your loved ones in the end. It took me a minute to get into the universe but this is a wonderful novella.
