A neat existential body-horror/dystopia about a distant future Toronto, where rich assholes continue to build towers that physical can't hold up much longer. A sentient mold is spreading under the city and through the plumbing, as we follow a large cast of characters piecing together how it came to be this way. The narrative bouncing around like this slows it down a lot, but no one perspective ruined the story. Watching the pieces come together was beautiful and tragic. I love me some fungal horror, gotta find some more.
