Off-putting (but never overwhelmingly so) alternative history/sci fi/horror thing. Def worth a read, will undoubtedly be checking out Within the Wires at some point.

A book which is either a memoir or a fictional construct is found and published with commentary from state censors/cultural critics. It consists of the experiences of the creator of a complex form of therapy developed in response to deeply rooted childhood traumas on a universal level. These traumas are the result of WWI not ending. The therapy is meant to erase the ties between parent and child, with the goal being to simultaneously wipe out any already existing childhood memories of trauma.

This was a complex and engaging piece of grounded sci-fi. Really dug it.

Atmospherically good, and writing to the standard of the better-written episodes. The plot didn't really start until about halfway through, at the Library, and then it moved along at a good clip.

The resolution fell flat, however---either I didn't get it, or the commentary about Troy as a type of parent was actually just trite and annoying. (Obviously I'm biased toward one of these things.) I preferred Dianne's meditations on parenthood in the first half of the book.

Really wanted to like this but it failed to hold my interest for unknown reasons. Will try another time.

I liked it but I didn’t love it. I thought it dragged a little in the middle and sometimes it’s cleverness got in the way of actually enjoying the story. Having said that, I will read the next book and am definitely interested in the podcast.
