A review by jimmypat
The Auctioneer (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) by Joan Samson

3.0

This was a surprisingly tense read and still highly applicable today (but not in the way that the author's husband states in his afterword - we have much more to fear from Big Tech). Samson is clearly writing an allegorical novel, but infuses it with a lot of realism; I could see how much of this could play out and there was never any time that this felt unbelievable (other than maybe the "twist" at the end).
