My issue is mostly about the books take on logistics of a climate change-ravaged world. It took everything in me to be able to suspend disbelief over and over while reading along.
How could sending a manned shuttle from space to earth and back EVERY WEEK to get “fresh produce” be at all efficient??? if there are freaking spas and luxury amenities on the space station, they couldn’t add a few hydroponics bays????????? If there is practically no society anymore outside the bubbles, how are they maintaining a launch site to get back to the space station?
Somehow freaking Xanax is a magical drug that can target specific memories to erase? There’s a whole scene where the character slowly loses just the memories the leaders want her to lose. At first I thought there was like a complicated psychological system, but they just use a vent to somehow waft Xanax into everyone’s room? WHAT
And biggest of all, the ending. Finally, all the women in power in the NYC bubble realize they shouldn’t be drugging thousands of women and children, and I’m pretty sure they specifically imply they don’t want to drug them anymore because that takes away the woman’s ability to choose and consent. But then, the head doctor of the bubble helped two woman sneak out to the surface and never ask any of the other women and children if they want to leave their fucked up lies-filled bubble??? So they take away their ability to choose and consent AGAIN and that fact is just brushed aside like it’s no big issue?
And then the two escapees WELDED THE ONLY EXIT SHUT SO NO ONE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO LEAVE AGAIN????????? I can’t.
This book definitely kept my mind working, trying to fill the numerous gaping plot holes.

This book might be a call to action for the woke who need to be further woken. As for those whom I call asleep (as in not woke), this book might just be a bit of science fiction that could someday make a good movie - with the right director. (Let’s take the red pill people, please!)
