speedrun of f-ing the system

3/5 stars

(okay cheated a bit but this is technically on goodreads so it’s part of my book challenge)
very very very short - the writing is super fast and gets straight to the point, which is both enjoyable yet frustrating
not a ton is explored in this other than consumerism bad for consumer and our rich overlords do not care about us
there’s not enough room for the story to grow/marinate and understand why george can see the truth
also why is his girlfriend human??
it’s fun but it’s just not the best best a short story could be about this topic
