The Passengers by John Marrs

3.0

I read THE PASSENGERS because it's my IRL book club's pick for October. I knew nothing about the story or characters when I first started reading it. While it wasn't my favorite book, I think the discussion surrounding this book will be interesting (and maybe a little bit uncomfortable).

I liked the premise of THE PASSENGERS and I thought the story was very compelling. It definitely kept me reading to the end despite the fact that I hated most of the characters and found parts of the story hard to get through because of the content. *coughSofiacough*

I think THE PASSENGERS is plausible

except for Clare's ability to clothe and move her large, dead husband from their bed to the trunk of their car while she's 7 months pregnant

. I also think the story portrays an interesting view of Cancel Culture, social media, online anonymity, mob mentality, bipartisan politics, and the future of AI.
