I received this DRC from NetGalley.

This is a very short story, with some pages being illustrations, and so this just serves as a glimpse into one man's day in the near- future dystopia that Taiwan has become. The ideas are interesting, and the writing was flowery, but not overly so. From the version I had, I could tell it was a translation. And I didn't quite understand what was going on with the formatting and inserts at the beginning, but I'm assuming that's hinting at more of the storyline that's to come? Anyway, I don't think I've read about a dystopia like this before, and I'm curious where it could be headed.

The Alliance of the Weak is a unique dive into a future Taiwan where societal norms have shifted to embrace imperfections. Set in 2089, the book weaves together the lives of its characters, showcasing their daily struggles in a world that challenges traditional ideals of beauty and ability. What I enjoyed most about this book was its exploration of humanity and acceptance, reminding us that strength comes in many forms.
