A really super cool concept. It reminded me of Zone Eight out of Hanya Yanagihara's To Paradise. And the stuff that was created kinda reminded me of just oil? Isn't it weird that we take this strange black liquid out of the ground and manage to create forks, bathtubs, face creams and clothes out of it? I thought it was really well done, especially in the beginning. But I feel like the book started to fall apart near the ending. It got a bit confusing and the ending wasn't super satisfying. I didn't need an explanation of everything that happened, but something a bit more concrete.
