Yes! I love this book so much. Read it please, I want to discuss it with you and your dog (and cat). It's brilliant near future speculative fiction with gorgeous prose, a jaw dropping twist and one of the best uses of the unreliable narrator I have ever come across.

I started to make a splashy new video, but just couldn't. Not with how many artists' livelihoods are disappearing in every field. I had to talk about that instead. So here's my new video. It's lo-fi and DIY. It's for everyone's sake, not just mine. Please share far and wide. vimeo.com/912531768
