I read to 50% so there was something compelling about this novel. It is set in a distant future where not much of humanity has survived. The currency is made from mined plastic, but other than that, this book reads less like dystopian fiction and more like a history lesson. It is a retelling of how humans have formed societies based on superstition, cultural traditions, and power dynamics, set in the future. I don’t doubt that we will repeat our same patterns, but I didn’t find it offered me anything new to think about.

I received an advance copy via NetGalley.
