If this is supposed to be horror, it didn’t go far enough. If this is supposed to be social commentary, it’s too weird and the focus is placed on the wrong parts of the story. In my humble opinion this could’ve used another 100 or so pages and have one of the characters really, truly fall off their rocker.

Hm this wasnt rly what i was expecting, i didnt rly want it to focus solely on their relationship and the translation felt a bit sticky at times tbh
‘that makes me feel like I know her. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I don't know her at all. That idea makes me anxious, I need to check if it's true, I need to verify it- maybe it's this thought that makes me do what I do next, ask what I'm asking: “I'm sorry, what?"’

The most interesting part of this book to me is the insight it gives into how content moderation affects the people who do it - both in terms of the impact on their mental health, and in terms of some of the material they are viewing
If you're interested in the consequences of the growing volume and consumption of difficult material on the internet, online radicalization, or the way trauma is increasingly built into the experience of someone who uses the internet, you might like this book. Be warned though, it's pretty grim the whole way through.
