3.5
3.5 solely for the uniqueness of the world and ideas. There were some revolutionary moments however the story itself was honestly pretty dull and repetitive. Pacing was challenging and I think it could’ve used another round of editing.

Very disturbing. Incredibly thought provoking. The human race is inherently selfish.
