I'm not a huge science fiction fan, but the fact that this book was largely Jewish is what pulled me in. It was quick-paced, interestingly topical, and snappy. I couldn't believe it was Resnick's first novel. While this was a work of fiction, it was set against a world full of antisemitism (very similar to the real one right now) and took a dystopian look at what would happen if you're Jewish. I think there were things that probably went over my head, but I thought the story was well done and enjoyable.
