Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

I just kept imagining Cline was a secret fan of katawa shoujo whilst reading the book.

It doesn't say she's a fat burn victim. It says she has a birthmark.

You forgot to mention how the main antagonist is a privileged rich white man who kills people indiscriminately over video games.

He also maintains a literal slave work force. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

But remember, when he goes full NEET, he locks himself in a hotel room with an internet connection and does 100 squats and pushups every day until he becomes swole and his hair falls out.

No, just joking, his hair doesn't fall out. Actually he shaves off all his body hair.

I think it's because it makes VR gear work better...?
