Fforde has never shied away from politics in his books, often using the fantastical to comment on the mundane realities of our world. That being said this is by far the most political and philosophical of his works in quite some time (maybe all time.)

There’s a sense of anger tuned through the pacifistic worldview of the titular rabbits threaded through the book. It almost feels like Fforde is shaking you the reader, trying to make you see.
