It caused my OCD/anxiety to spike because the sad truth about this book is that we are slowly reaching the reality of events in the book into modern society. There are no heroic or super action-based moments, besides

Torture

If you have anxiety that can easily be heightened, I do NOT recommend reading.
If you do read please remember that this book is a warning. NOT a guide! It is creepy how similar the world of the book and reality are.

I'm not yet ready to discuss how fucking sad this makes me feel. Sadthinkful, if you will. I expected to feel bummed out sometimes, but this differentiates itself from other dystopian pieces by being the absolute bleakest shit of all time. Like, there were turns in the story where I physically felt my heart just crush and drop while reading. Anyway, exceptionally good literature, but you already knew that.
