The art style in this book is bonkers. Simultaneously fascinating and horrifying, it evokes new-corporate Memphis/humanist pop art design turned up to eleventy-one and mixes it with a neu-skeumorohism made literal environment like a modernist Bosch, working for a FAANG company.

I really am jiving with DeForge's work, and this one has some really great stuff. The worlds he builds are so surreal but absolutely felt and resonant. In terms of story, I suppose that does matter a little less, but I've found in this and Big Kids the endings of the books sort of just happen and are a little unsatisfying. This one, I think, feels a little more that way. But the world, and a few delightful characters here, are really fun and those characters did charm me more than I think any in Big Kids(besides the MC of that one maybe). All to say is: give DeForge a try! Looking forward to reading the rest of his work.

Quick but very good read. Whimsical and thought provoking. And really fun art
