No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull
3.0
I have mixed feelings about this book. What I really liked was the unconventional way of dealing with diversity, making it explicitly something that emerges from within each of us, thus making the division we always try to make between "us" and "them" untenable. We are the gods, but we are also the monsters, in a fluid becoming perfectly represented by the mutation of the werewolves. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the level of 'monstrosity' to maintain this division.
Really good ideas, very well described through characters that leave their mark.
What I didn't like was the "cauldron". All these excellent ideas are placed in a framework full of allusions that would like to fill the reader with stimuli, mimicking the confusion of reality, but which instead, in my opinion, is real confusion. As shown by the attempt to set up a conspiracy theory à la QAnon, which, again in my opinion, the author could really have done without.
