The problem with most dystopians is the us-versus-thems. I’d like to see one where both sides are, within the fictional world, right. Currently, Smith is doing a much more literal representation of Enger’s I Cheerfully Refuse: conservative member in organized religion? Bad.

Definitions are also oppressive, which is a tricky linguistic position that usually folds in on itself.

So far, this novel reminds me of Never Let Me Go and The Road. While distinct from both, it’s got a similar feeling, tone, and vibe. That is about as high of praise I can give a novel, I think.
