This book touches on many interesting themes but adds little, if anything, to the conversation. A lot of effort with little pay off. Writing about radical politics doesn't automatically make your book radical. 

Plus there's some annoying gatekeeping in the protest scenes. Window smashers are presented as young idiots just trying to stir shit up. Weird to demonize that since stirring shit up is kinda the whole point of protesting. Asking nicely to be treated like a human has never achieved anything.

The one thing about this book that did resonate with me is the desire to be a parent and raise a child while also being painfully aware of how oppressive and terrifying this world is.
