On the surface, it was just a heavyish story about some people who believe they’re experiencing a phenomenon and how their lives unravel because of it. I actually loved this book so much. Super emotionally engaging/immersive. Good commentary on “othering” and social exile + what it means to believe (or not believe) in something. It felt like it was super close to trying to be a mock autobiography which was really interesting too.
