Review: Super Sad True Love Story
This is a pretty entertaining read about falling in love while the world goes mad and consequently falls down around you. In that sense, it’s a novel of a generation, one that will speak to many. Some interesting ideas re: what society looks like when technologically empowered wealth, sexuality, social transparency (and perversely, corruption), are all taken to the N’th degree.
It’s also funny (in its critique of Europeans) and sad (when it covers the problems with a distributed family, the immigration narrative, and sovereign debt.) And both (in its coverage of security theater, marked by a huge national security structure that insists that it does not exist but demands acknowledgement).
