A quick and bizarre read highlighting the impact of alienation and "otherness." Watching the devolution of the protagonist and the response of those around him to events wholly outside of his control was an emotional experience. This book will make you think twice about how we view others, the labels "us" and "them," and perhaps even the sentience of the insects around you.
