This was a great book, but one that was a little depressing at the same time. A satirical look on extreme views becoming the political stance of the English speaking world.
Pearson, the main character tries to tow the line, say the right things and keep her head down, but she believes the doctrine to be utter nonsense and eventually cracks to find herself cancelled, her kids taken away and homeless.
This is a thought provoking book and one that I would like to read again in ten years to see where we are.
The characters were a little flat, as they were clearly a plot device in order to tell the story but it doesn't really detract from the book as a whole, as you find yourself cheering Pearson on, and looking at Emory with suspicion as she uses the doctrine to forward her career regardless on who she stamps on in the process.
Not an easy book to read but one worthy of taking on.
