Looks at what gig work might look like on an alien world that humans settled. Interesting story with found family. Tongue is firmly in cheek at times with solid jabs gig apps, hipsters, men with opinions on everything and more!
Content warning: Moderate sexual content, drug use and gore
I'm not sure how to put the humour of this book into words. Safe to say that if you don't like drug and sex based jokes then I doubt you'll like this much. Personally I don't care either way but it did make the book come off as a little juvenile. The satire of hipster culture, the gig economy, and so on were pretty fun though maybe a little surface level with no real commentary or critique involved as most things devolve into superpowered fight scenes.
The scifi elements were generally well done if again a little shallow. Actually that goes for the plot too. The whole book felt so shallow that I couldn't get invested. There's nothing I took issue with and the art was cool, but I'd struggle to tell anyone "yeah go read this"
