futuristic violence and fancy suits review

Thirty-five: gotta wrap this up so I can sleep tonight.Įnd: Sigh. Twenty-four: Why do we have a whole chapter about Zoey getting fitted for a funeral suit? Seventeen: Characterization changes every few chapters. Nineteen: I appreciate the economic dichotomy between trailer park and mansion, but really, consider socioeconomic message received. Three: I don't believe a woman who would own a Persian cat would call him 'Stench Machine.'įive, six, and eight: The description of the 'Blink' nails social media as a 'reality experience.' Very lightly veiled social commentary but sadly on point.įourteen: I don't believe a woman is this interested in talking toilets.

Two: Okay, made me laugh with the spatula joke. Not into serial killer chasing inept 20 year-old woman, even/esp. Will Zoey figure it all out in time? Or maybe the better question is, will you? After all, the future is coming sooner than you think. At least not any that you'd want to follow. Her only trusted advisor is the aforementioned cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's dumpster on a hot summer day. Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. Together, they will decide the future of mankind. Mysterious, smooth-talking power players who lurk behind the scenes. Nightmarish villains with superhuman enhancements.Īn all-seeing social network that tracks your every move.

New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin takes readers to a whole new level with his darkly comic sci-fi thriller.
