The Annihilation Score is a pretty good skewering of modern bureaucracy; we've borrowed a lot of terminology from the Americans and imported a lot of their corporate thinking, so it makes sense that the tone shifts. And again, that book is a Mo book, and she's American.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoNot saying there is any problem with an American sounding American in any book. The problem is specifically with the other, non-American characters and their change in tone sounding unreal in the context of a Britain that has adopted many of those US empty corporate cliches, along with a few of our own. Like I already said, I got no problem with Brits using Americanisms - we all do that. Without going away to reskim it for quotes, which I'm not going to do, I think we have to agree to differ. :p
