sigh... yall i really wanted to like this one but the characters were so flat and boring that i just couldn't care. also i really liked borne but the fact he was barely in the second act of the book like?? he really didn't have much point to the plot beyond straining wick and rachel's relationship but they made up at the end so it really didn't even matter???? ALSO THE FACT THAT WICK LIVED BUT BORNE DIED PISSED ME OFF LIKE??????
tldr this could have been so good but it fell flat imo

Excellent eco-dystopian piece w/ some of the most dreary visions of future maybe not as distant as one would think. Harsh, but in some sense psychadelic universe full of scents, sweat, biologically modified creatures (who however still resemble humans/animals just enough for reader to relate to or identify w/). Solid underlying concepts included. Unique off-the-wall gem of contemporary sci-fi.
