I'm still processing Automatic Noodle, and I think I will be for a long time. When I started it, I did not expect to find something so profound. Automatic Noodle is a book set in the future that captures the feeling of living today as a queer person. The feeling of watching your rights being stripped away and listening to people debate your very personhood, and yet still needing to get up and go to work in the morning. The feeling of impending doom, and yet still having to live your life because there's nothing else you can do.
However, this book is about hope. Not just surviving but thriving despite shitty conditions and a hostile world. Fighting for yourself but not by yourself. Finding connection and community. Living, despite everything.
I needed this book, and I don't think I will ever forget it.
