4.0

A fun speculative semi-historical fiction novel, reads fun and fast. Will be a hit with the queers and I think also with the type of liberal women/other readers who like books like The Power, Future Home of the Living God, or Handmaids Tale. Lots of old Wild West and post-apocalyptic tropes in new clothes. Not the deepest read but a fun one- would have liked a map in the front.
