Spent

An excellent foray into the complexities of modern-day consumerism and how we might reconcile the contradictions of community-oriented mutual aid and the demands of a Western-style middle-class quotidian. The author grapples with these questions and argues that there are no easy answers. Aesthetically, the artwork was charming, and the narrative propulsion was languid enough not to be too overwhelming given the dense content. The author also tackles the daunting task of distilling opaque economic principles into easily digestible nibbles. And in an engaging visual form, no less.

Heady topic. But broaches important inquiries in an accessible and playful manner. A wholehearted recommendation from me.
