A master class in maximalism ... The magic here is in the prose. Though the story itself is sprawling, Barnet’s writing is restrained and intentional ... The ending... might not wrap up all of the narrative’s many threads, but I found the final scene to be a compelling resolution to the central friendship.
A canny portrait of the doomscroll generation ... A sharp satire of a hyperonline culture, with genuinely moving insights into modern inequality and climate crisis throughout.
