The thesis is about how Black people respond to racism in white spaces... which is a conversation I'm not a part of, so that might be why I wasn't moved by the story. The "thriller" tag made me expect something much more exciting. The book like dips its toe into science fiction but doesn't really commit and the vast OBG conspiracy was not compelling enough for suspension of disbelief.
