As a San Francisco native, I give this book my stamp of approval. I recommend this book to anyone struggling with our dystopian capitalistic reality. You are not crazy, life sucks.

Not clever or insightful, just jaded and going for shock value. Plus, the narrator had a flat tone that I couldn’t get into.

Having suffered from depression and working a corporate job this book was so relatable to me. It really captured a lot of my own feelings about working a job in a city and how bleak our capitalist society is. Definitely not one to read if you're currently depressed.

DNF about a chapter in. The black hole metaphor and godawful literary prose made it clear this is not the Silicon Valley critique I’ve been waiting for.
