For me, the idiosyncratic unemotional presentation of the novel works well with the dark theme. Especially the relative uneventful allows the protagonist to take a path laid down without any fuss and the seduction reflected equally again, the problematized Eggers. A novel full of fractures and conflicts would be both less powerful and less plausible. Especially the unexcited, just that only small to medium conflicts accompany the action and the system trivializes real decisions and makes breaks unnecessary and impossible to me seems to be the maxim narrative of the novel and in the fact to work as well. It works because it easily and undramatic tells a frightening story that takes place in our reality.
