Halfway through The Future by Naomi Alderman and i’m so annoyed because this is exactly the theme and the plot point that I used in The Light Eaters but also excited because Alderman has written a way better, denser, more engaging book than I could have

And they announce this on Trans Day of Remembrance? Absolute GHOULS, this government
