Really intelligent and startling speculative fiction that offers darkly comedic and pressing insight into the political woes of our current era. Pelsue explores American tribalism and what happens when actual discourse and progress are cut short by monolithic approaches to politics, justice, and the pursuit of what is 'right.' The world building unfurls at a judicious pace, illuminating the state of things in a way that feels organic and far from serving as simple exposition. The subtly rendered coda is a gutting epilogue. One thing Pelsue does excellently is dole out truths through both comedy and terror. ”
