I thought the novel was very smart because it made fun of everyone but after a quick google search I realized the book is a statement from the author against social media because he was actually “cancelled” so the views and opinions of who I consider to be the main character, George, seem to be the message of the book, which is one I don’t really agree with. Besides following a specific nice liberal kind of agenda it is very well written and really funny to read, especially if you’re a middle aged white man on twitter. I do find it funny that he plays with the fact that he wrote the book about his cancellation in the end.
