From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History …

Alternative history, well thought through

4 stars

In its critique of capitalism, discrimination and blind reliance on technology, this is a highly modern book, though it takes place in the 1830s. The book doesn't contain too much plot or action, but is based on a clever idea that is taken to its full consequences.
