i really wanted to dig this, but i just don’t get it. the covers of this book are practically painted with pull-quotes lauding its rich, original satire, and it’s a great idea and all (corporate re-branding of the iraq war (an analogue in this case) as the ultimate sexy peak life experience) but for the occasional chuckle and good bits, there’s a shit load of soap operatics that i ultimately really didn’t care about.
