A truly excellently crafted novel of truth and consequence that analyzes fascist indoctrination and grey-morality; I would've rated higher but I'm not personally a big fan of unlikeable narrators. However, I think the intimate perspective on a product of this reality is honestly a plus structurally. Softer sci-fi but not too hand-wavey, I suspect I'll enjoy it more on a second read
