what a fantastic book, I really enjoyed it! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone
A post scarcity world where all your fantasies are easily fulfilled. A utopia at the surface that seems more dystopian as the book continues.
It really spoke to me in a time of AI - we allow these mechanical constructs to create and manufacture stories, art, music but it takes the humanity out of the experience for us. What if our entire lives were like that? This book paints a rose tinted version of this that demists with each turn of a page. In the end the peace she finds comes from nature, and not from popping ecstacy and other hedonistic pursuits - #queenshit
This book is really good at 'show, don't tell', especially about the emotional states of our characters.
The read feels super 'floaty' if I had to describe it, in the best way.
Oh how I wish I had a little scraggly Pet of my own.
