" #VenomousLumpsucker / #DerGemeineLumpfisch ist unterhaltsam und überraschend und der Stil schafft eine gewisse Distanz zum eigentlich deprimierenden Inhalt. Das Buch macht den Eindruck, dass der Autor die Trends der Gegenwart präzise beobachtet und dann weitergedacht hat."

Seems like my holiday reading is not over yet. Picked up #VenomousLumpsucker by #NedBeaumann and can't put this dark, hilarious, satire down. You get the idea when I tell you that, in the near future, corporations, especially mining ones, making any species extinct can purchase an Extinction Credit and go right ahead. If it's an intelligent species, three Credits are required. @bookstodon
Ned Beauman's book Venomous Lumpsucker was great. It is a page-turning thriller, yet with well-developed characters and really good at raising interesting and important issues such as why it matters if species go extinct.
