Chipless by Kfir Luzzatto
4.0
This review first published on Oh Just Books.
This book is a dystopian Sci-Fi novel - both things that I love reading. I really enjoyed the story. Dystopian novels often have a great focus on world building and settings and concepts related to the world created. Chipless created a very good world, definitely. The concept was eerie, and yet very credible. I think credibility of a possible concept is important in dystopian novels, specially if they also have to do with Sci-Fi. The whole idea of The City and Freeland was very well constructed.
The book flowed well too, it was fast paced, situational and all towards a climactic end goal. What I didn't like was the lack of time given to characters to process their emotions and feelings. Especially Kal, the lead, who has spent his entire life being indoctrinated by The City, surely it wouldn't be so easy for him to give it all up?
