I've acclimated to the initially intimidating wall-of-text style. Enjoyable so far in a kind of farcical black comedy sense. Interesting to note it predates fascism - the complete domination and unshackable machinations of bureaucracy scream of a kind of "just following orders". It's also depressingly bleak in how unavoidable it makes it's portrayal. The force to be resisted is always out of sight, the result of am abstract other. It reminds me of surveillance capitalism somewhat. An invisible, irresistible morass of force.
