In an era where shock horror is becoming very mainstream and shows (and books) focused on evil technology/futurology/bizarre or unnerving workplaces are huge hits, it takes a lot to stand out. Unfortunately, this book did not. Maybe it was the disjointed telling, maybe it was the fact that the "horrors" being described are nothing new, and there was no real sense of dread or uneasiness, just unhappiness. I think part of the problem is that Bervoets failed to fit this into a genre, which meant it rode the lines between a bunch of genres, not successfully dipping into any of them.
