Review

After the revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp, people are starting to question how ethical unwinding is. However, many big companies are making a profit off of it, and refuse to let the business collapse. In fact, they want it to grow.

One of these companies, Proactive Citizenry, has created a being made entirely out of unwinded body parts. Camus Comprix, a futuristic Frankenstein, struggles to find a sense of identity and belonging in a world that sees him as an abomination. In a twist of events, he finds his fate tied with Connor, Risa, and Lev. Together, they struggle to survive and find a way to put a stop to unwinding.

I liked this book. It made me question life a lot. It's sad how some companies will try to do anything to keep making money. Also, I liked how the concept of Cam was explored. It was nice to see inside his mind. It helped to make the reader understand that as terrible as his existence might be, he didn't choose this life and was a victim as well.
