I ended up liking this. Don't get me wrong, it's a slow-starter. My notes read: “pg 102, not much going on” and “page 153- still haven't hit the plot yet”.
But, if you tough it out, it's Black Mirror-esque. This is our world, only slightly skewed. You have to wait while details of this alternate world are doled out-but you are rewarded with drones in trees, shrunken heads on display, composting homes, and non-disclosure agreements all over the place.
I loved this quote:
” People liked to think they were having a relationship with each other, but really they were having a relationship with the relationship itself.”
And the idea of gentrification because of sustainability? Amazeballs. I found myself thinking about that for awhile. I found myself feeling bad for Anja, an heiress who everyone wants to tell her how to spend her money. That's pretty out of character for me, so there must have been something about Anja that I really liked.
