A filthy, brutal, yet oddly inspiring mindfuck of a book. It delves deeply into the horrors of war and capitalism and propaganda, but it also shows the value of resistance and how the overwhelming majority of people remain people despite all the ways the existing power structures try to break them down and tear them apart.

I'd never have expected a painfully topical dystopian SF novel to be the ray of light I needed in the middle of this awful year, but that's what this book ended up being.
