I take that as part of the point: it tries to stretch the idea of a novel to explore systemic change without reducing it to heroic individual action. The form complements that, frequently jumping to brief first-person chapters with unnamed characters who can be anyone in the world, including animals and even abstract concepts.
It barely coheres as a novel, which I think is the feeling it's trying to convey about the world in general.
