Dystopian and in too many ways eerily similar to things going on in the real world. Definitely interesting that the narrator's condition is both a notable portion of her story but not a major plot point considering everything else going on around her. I'll have to take some more time, and perhaps read something a little lighter before diving into the sequel.
