Imagine you take the social criticisms and basic concept of the hunger games, and drop it into a hell hole of late stage capitalism (particularly in terms of the entertainment industry) that is modern China, then multiply the lazer focus intensity of the critique by 100. Materialism, exploitation in the industry, audience apathy, class divide, psychopathic capitalism are all described in gory detail.A lot of social commentary. Unsubtle. But I like that. I like the courage and straightforward-ness of the author. I didn't think I would encounter something like this in a Chinese novel. Clearly I haven't read widely enough.I would hate to be a famous person in the novel, and probably in real life, too 💀💀
