British citizenship test gone wrong in a not-so-future world. Just a tiny novella, so it's a quick read that you can knock out in one sitting. I was a bit bored by the sections of the manual and the rules for conducting the test.

A clever idea with neat execution - this novella is pretty unsettling
Despite being so short, this book was such a journey. And the audiobook was brilliantly done. I don't think the book would have had the same effect on paper, but Neuvel wrote an entire series only in dialogue and did it brilliantly, so who am I to say? This was also literally bite-sized; I listened to the whole thing in under an hour.

Oh my god! The twist in the beginning was so good! and made the plot even more interesting, and the stress sooo real! I know there's discourse about whether it should have been revealed earlier or later, but truly I think it was written SO well! I could definitely see this being a nearish future for testing scenarios. So good. Go read it.
