After the FallAfter the Fall by Edward Ashton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interesting novel. Billed as humor, it definitely has satire at its core. Post-humanity being slaves for an overwhelming alien race, gaslit into believing it's lesser on its own planet, growing up treated as utterly disposable, worse than pets... very funny. Really funny IF our heroes are genuinely bumbling idiots.

And for the most part, they ARE.

No spoilers, but this is a pretty wild, satirical ride. And definitely not relatable in today's climate. Not at all. *wink, wink*

I think I'm going to check out more books by this author.
