If you go into this book expecting answers of why, then stop right now. The big questions don't get answered. The point and charm to the book is not fully understanding what the hell is happening. It's a great little glimpse into how the residents of 'The Centre' feel each day: a slice of life through their eyes and their lack of understanding. This is their life, and they have to accept it, as they know no other.
What makes this book stand out for me is the pop culture references to TV shows and films. The fun of the story was trying to guess what show or film was being played on each 'cartridge', where the names they had adopted for themselves came from, and how they displayed their namesake's character. It entertained, and it made me want to rewatch so many different things at once. It was genius!
A dystopian novel for the tv/film needs who don't mind not having all the details and are just a long for the show.
