challenging dark informative tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.25

A bunch of people suck at being losers and decide to doom humanity rather than lose face. Also they pointlessly track drugs across Africa in a story that has little to no relation to the final part of the book. 

Straight up American propaganda, this book is admittedly probably rather accurate in how the world will be wiped out however that didn’t make it more compelling, it just made me angrier.
