1/3 of the way through this book. It was sort of grossing me out but it's super interesting and makes me think about garbage!!

nel complesso la storia iper distopica non è male, alcuni spunti sono originali e estremamente visionari. forse quello che mi ha un po' bloccato, oltre la prosa a volte abbastanza pesante, è l'eccessiva spezzettatura della narrazione, che solo negli ultimi capitoli si riordina raccogliendo fatti e personaggi, quando però, probabilmente, è troppo tardi.
