Devolution

This was my first Max Brooks and I was really drawn to Sasquatch x epistolary style storytelling. While reading I even found an article about his inspiration for Devolution.

Brooks gives us a cast of affluent liberals who have always relied on technology while choosing to live in an isolated area with no knowledge of how to survive there without access to the internet. Maybe it's their exuberant wealth, but I did not really have much compassion for these characters. Even after various attacks from a SASQUATCH troop they seemed so disconnected from their reality. I wanted to love this so much but it just ended up feeling so flat to me. I wanted to be a lot more afraid.
