I really enjoyed this post-apocalyptic science fiction. There was a focus throughout on language change that could be expected in a 1000-year timespan, which I appreciated. I felt like what was used in the book didn't go far enough, but if it had it would have been impossible to read. And there was discussion of other language changes that didn't show up in the examples on the page. Also, there was deaf representation (v. brief), which I didn't expect. Overall, I found myself surprised by the reveals and happy at the way the story unfolded.
