Don' t read the preface first, however, Sophie Mackintosh's words summize the novel best:
No life is ordinary, the book seems to say. No life is without hope, without light, even during the unimaginable. (...)
How much of our humanity is intrinsic? How much remains, when all else is stripped away?

Some good quotes. Such as:
"[...] under a sky that is nearly always grey, or such a pale blue that it seems to be dying. But a sky does not die, it is I who am dying, who was already dying in the bunker"
Speculative fiction and hypothetical unanswered questions tend to bore me, I guess it's just not for me. 2.5.
