I adore absurd books, but this one might be too weird for me 🤣

I’ll see it through. I’ve got the listening hours.

I’ve now hit the second of the parts where it feels like I should be done, only to find I’ve got more to go.

I’m tired, grandpa! I don’t want to hear the same conversations over and over! They’ve forgotten, but I haven’t, and I stopped caring ages ago 😒

This book should have been a novella. I hit the half way point, and it was such a perfect climax I was shocked to see that I was only half way through, and honestly disappointed.

It’s fine. Had the entity not started talking to Quinn I might have forgiven it more. Been more like the hiss, and less like a super lame boogie man. The second it started talking it was less scary, and it wasn’t scary to begin with.

This should be my favorite book. It’s all the things I love. It’s Control adjacent, curated SCP like entities, I should be eating it up. Obsessed.

But I’m not.

I’m 30% of the way through, so I’m not going to say I hate it, but so far I find the fact that the entities the antimemetics division deals with make them forget bores me.

Oh boy, do I have some thoughts.

I’ve been so mad I’m only just now seeing it, and I’m annoyed at myself it’s taken this long.

The authors don’t think incorporation is bad because it’s slavery. They think it’s bad because it’s taxes. And they are squish brained Libertarians, so they think taxes IS slavery.

I hate it here. I’d like to get off, thanks.

Jesus Christ.

Listing to these characters talk about currencies is like listening to a fourth grader who’s been forced to watch a video about libertarian talking points explain what they don’t understand about fiat currencies.

Or, you know. Having to listen to a libertarian explain fiat currencies.

Fucking kill me now.

Justin is the worst character I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, and I read that dumb as dog shit weird western last year.

“She doesn’t know when I’m from, so she’s reading a book from my millennia.”

Am I the stupid one? Freezing tech had to have a start date, so obviously he cannot be of indeterminate age. He cannot be older than the life expectancy of the first frozen guy.
