2.0

It was quite generic. Evil genius who is neurodivergent wants to destroy humanity. Humanities student used a propaganda. Not to mention the combination of the fridged woman and manic pixie dream girl. Overall, it had some good commentary on genetic manipulation but that’s pretty much it.

This book's narrator is problematic in many ways, but does not engage in rape or abuse, rather

he tells us about what other people have done to children, and tells the story of someone who was trafficked and abused
