Strange little book about a futuristic citizen test. 
Compellingly written but with a weak ending that I didn't think fit the rest of the story and character at all.

But it pointed out a lot of true issues and situations that we deal with everyday and mostly ignore, but instead of offering answers or pushing specific ideas on the reader it mostly just seemed to asked the questions of why is it that way? And why are we not working on actually changing those?

One of my favorite short little moments was around the quote above, where there is this short little talk about equality. And how while we all might think we try and/or treat everyone equally we actually don't. Especially between different sexualities we expect specific things even if we don't want to acknowledge those to ourselves. 
I myself had to stop and think about it while while i read this book and noticed right away, that the author is right. 
For example i wouldn't want any of my female relatives or friends to walk alone late at night somewhere where you never know if it is actually save. And sure i wouldn't feel great about it if a male person would do it either, but would i be as scared about it? Would i be as hesitant to let them walk alone or would i just expect it to be fine because they are male?

And if i consider it like that, is that sexism? Is it treating females -myself included- unequally?
Or is that just how it is and we accept that because we as individuals can't really change it in a big way that makes an actual difference in those situations?

This little book has a lot of those thought provoking moments. 
I don't know if the author intended this book to be this thought provoking, if he actually sat down to write a novella that is completely questioning how we are living our day-to-day life and if we shouldn't all work a lot harder to actually change a lot of things to actually make our near and distant future better. 
Or if that is just how the book ended up being. 
But i actually really enjoyed this and will keep my eyes out to get my own copy of it as soon as i can because i want to re-read this and see what else it can spark in me. 

This is not at all a book for everyone. 
If you just want a straight forward, "don't think about it while and after reading a short little thing" type of book, this is NOT for you at all. 
If you just want entertainment and fun, this isn't a good choice. 

But if you want something different, interesting, a bit strange and lets you question not only the book itself but everything around you, please pick this up and give it a try!
