The you was me. Me in particular. I too would fall into silence. I would die.
This book was endlessly intriguing! So many interesting and, quite frankly, disturbing ideas portrayed in a semi-realistic way. The whole thing really reminded me of the film Get Out where you know the whole time something isn't right, and then it is revealed that the antagonists have some sort of white supremacist agenda. Genuinely a super interesting book - the way it ended up connecting to real things that were happening in society is what was the scariest part. Definitely such an important conversation presented in a very disconcerting way. Sometimes I found it hard to follow the story but I ended up really enjoying some of the vignettes aside from the main story. It was also good to hear the audiobook read by the author, he provided a very personal perspective which I also think is important.
