The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley is a fast-paced and mind-bending science fiction novel that follows the journey of the protagonist, Dietz, as they enlist in a corporate army to fight a war against Mars. The soldiers are transformed into light and then transmitted to various war zones, only to experience the events in a disjointed and non-linear sequence. As Dietz becomes increasingly disoriented and begins to witness the war in a fragmented manner, it becomes evident that something far more intricate and sinister is at play, revealing a disturbing and complex reality of the conflict. The novel intricately explores themes of war, identity, and the consequences of advanced technology, creating a gripping and thought-provoking narrative that challenges the traditional notions of time and perception.
