** spoiler alert **
           I'll be upfront and say I didn't finish this novel. There wasn't anything wrong with it. I just wasn't in the mood for another novel that is heavy in description and light on action and dialog. Anderson's approach to storytelling here is similar to Victory City by Salman Rushdie (2023). Mind you, Rushdie is aiming for social commentary wrapped up in a historical drama with a fantasy facade. Anderson is also doing social commentary but with a contemporary, realist approach punctuated with humorous beats.
