This one is not like the author's other two books. While it's as well written and hard to put down, it's far darker and without the fluffiness, leaving me feeling the same as when my cute little kitty comes for a cuddle with her claws out. While the writing remains the same, the depth isn't hidden behind humour.
On a night out, Tommy finds 'perks' instead of cash at the cashpoint. While he's sure it's a joke, he has a go at spending them anyway... and the story flies away from there. It gets more and more extreme, darker with each page, and while any single event, to describe on its own might sound ludicrous, within the story and seeing how events unfold, everything works. It all makes perfect sense.
Of course, there is more to the story than the story being told. The way the characters see each other, how they interact with each other and the way they choose their sides, follow their leaders sometimes rabidly, showed not just a conspiracy-nut dream but a society within society, functioning the same way, and showing the maggot-rotten side of us we don't like to admit exists.
It's set in the same universe as Grand Theft Octo, and leaves me wondering/hoping we'll see more of those characters in the future.
