Jordan

Sometimes you want to read Literature™ and sometimes you want to read story with a lovable sentient head of a sex doll, an uzi wielding Jesus, and a stripper named Dong Quixote. 

I have such an aversion to religion and cult-like organizations, the Earthseed portions of this really rubbed me the wrong way. 

The writing is nice and it's obviously very prescient. And I do agree that change is the only hard truth.

Hoo boy. Not scary like I expected but scary on an existential level. Definitely check the content warnings if you're unsure. 

This starts as an examination of the ideal, but curated (derogatory) life of millennials but ends up feeling like a poor-me story of two people incapable of feeling grateful. 

Maybe that's the true millennial story though. 

The emotionless, distant writing style worked for this story, but the lack of any character depth didn't work for me.

Very solid and enjoyable start to finish. I still prefer the movie, but I'm glad I finally read this.
