Universality by Natasha Brown
3.0

This book is an excellent conversation starter and a compelling read. I did feel that a lot of problematic ideas were left unchallenged (which is fine if you are aware of the counterarguments already, but not if you aren't) and that it could have done with a bit more meat.

That being said, this is a provocative and shape shifting narrative that spirals out in an exploration of the zeitgeist and capitalist system. Well worth reading if you like social commentary in your contemporary fiction.
