Cory Doctorow

Now published for the first time in the UK, the second visionary novel from the acclaimed author of LITTLE BROTHER.

Eastern Standard Tribe

Art, a member of the Eastern Standard Tribe--a secret society bound together by their sleep schedule and communicating via encrypted instant messaging--is incarcerated thanks to his friends and family, masquerading as consultants.

Almost DNF’d this twice… just tend to lose interest with completely unnecessary slurs. Story was fine. I think the concept seemed more interesting than the execution which was kind of thin on plot, or story, or character development… It was a short book, so I kept going because the main character is from Toronto and I am too and that never happens in sci fi (station eleven excepted) but it wasn’t really worth it tbh. I give short books a bit more leeway with character development and world building as a rule but there is no excuse for me to have not really clearly been able to tell my partner what this was a story about, or what the happens in the book, until like, the last chapter. I would have taken less nipple description in trade for a better outline of the “tribe” rivalries at any point in the book.

Brief. Too brief to the point of confusing.
