Julie R reviewed Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson
the twistiest page-turner
4 stars
This grabbed me and didn't let go. I do wish there'd been a page at the end--just one scene--where someone involved explained to someone less involved exactly what happened and why. Really spelled it out for those of us who loved the ride but might have gotten a little dizzy along the way. Very Inception in that sense, no hand-holding which I admire, but could have used...just a little.
The concepts were brilliant. I loved all the questions this brought to my mind about deepfakes and truth and the power of culture and who controls it.
