This book is hard to rate or review, because I have so many disparate thoughts about it. On the one hand, the Other Now is intriguing in many ways, while despicable in others. I relate deeply to Eva, but Iris just annoys the crap out of me and I'm glad the story didn't spend as much time with her as it did with Costas and Eva, because she's one of those people who will never be happy about anything. But an interesting thought experiment here, even if I don't agree with all of it, because it is a far better suggestion than what I'd feared it could be when I read that the author was a former Syriza politician.
