Millet is excellent at creating a post-apocalyptic world that feels all too similar to the present. The idea of a world where people are vaccinated in order to keep them happy is such a unique view on the dystopian genre. It brings a lot of questions to mind, especially since I read this during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Very engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking.
