I felt the descriptions of the lockdown experience painfully relatable. I think overall experience of reading it and time zooming by felt like a dive into my own memories. I enjoyed laughing with spite at how useless and gross Jason is.
I think the book really captures a fear of the future that is very much of the present moment.

4.25! very quick read and one i enjoyed so much. for someone who has let covid consume them, studied classics, and had some weird other coincidental commonalities--anne carson bot, shoshana zuboff and surveillance capitalism--(though none of us are unique, everything is fated, etc.) this book really clicked for me. will return to my copy (arc paperback through work) and this review for clearer thoughts; it definitely is very strange thinking about a novel set across the pandemic and trying to separate one's experience and feelings objectively, but i do not read like that anyway for the most part
