Anthropocene Rag by Alexander C. Irvine
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley for a providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book, that in all honesty I thought was going to turn out to be pretty dumb, had me hooked from the first page in a bizarre adventure that I could not put down. This odd little novel manages to be equal parts Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Westworld and Welcome to Night Vale while at the same time being a very distinct work.
The thing I was most concerned with while reading this was the question of "how can strange this story possibly end?" Some may be dissatisfied with how it does, but I felt that it fit perfectly with both the writing style and the overall narrative.
And that is all I will say on any of that, as I feel to go into any detail about the book would harm someone's enjoyment of it. I recommend if for anyone who enjoys post-apocalyptic SF as it is definitely one of the more unique entries into the genre.
