“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”

Not gonna lie I spent the majority of this book very very very confused. My friends will attest to that. Despite this, it wasn't a bad book, I just don't think I get much out of a book that relies so much on hidden philosophical commentary. Don't get me wrong, it made me think a lot about our societal systems, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I am very mad at the ending :(
