I thought this book would be really different than it was. It had some elements of the type of story i expected as a maybe pop feminist tongue-in-cheek novel about women in the workplace/tech. That story though was also buried under a sense of dystopia or doomsday rhetoric. I think I would have liked the story better if the tech company had been less woo-woo and more basic. I think the added religious tones added an unnecessary gravitas that i don't feel like was executed well. It felt like there were two genres of story being mashed together strangely. At times i was reading what felt like a relatively light-hearted story of a wife working with her husband and being left behind but one that never seemed to really interrogate it to far because at the same time the book was being some sort of dystopia late-stage capitalism techno drama. The stakes of the company felt like it buried the message about being a working wife. it felt like their central conflict wasn't as much the way women are rendered invisible but that Cyrus was a megalomaniac rebuilding religion in his image and Asha was enabling him b/c she was in some ways one of his devotees too. Now perhaps either story would've been interesting on their own but together it was just weird and off-kilter. The book seemed to rise and rise and rise and then just...dissipate. No spoilers but the ending was unsettling because of its references to the current time and because that reference to the present made it annoyingly speculative instead of definitive. I also just generally hate books set too obviously in the present. In some ways, the book's execution felt to simple to carry the weight of what it wanted to do, yet at the same time heavy because of the weight of the themes it wanted to pull off but couldn't. All in all was not a big fan.
