A debut novel of big ideas, The Mark is about misinformation, partisanship and how societies polarise.

Could be my favourite read of the year. It’s a great mild-dystopian read, where the Author is careful to never push the edge of believability too far, allowing the social commentary of the genre to come through. It’s definitely a very contemporaneous book, touching on themes from modern therapy culture and MRA culture, but never doing it in so overt a way that it holds the book back. I really enjoyed the way that the author approached the multiple perspectives, with each lead character feeling fully fleshed out, and no character appearing fully morally flawed or virtuous. Overall, a really enjoyable read.
