Der Roman ist aus zwei Blickwinkeln verfasst und zwar einerseits aus der Sicht Lenny Abramovs in dessen Tagebucheinträgen, andererseits aufgrund von gestreamten Nachrichten Eunice Parks auf deren Global-Teen-Account, einem sozialen Netzwerk. Gekonnt wechselt Shteyngart auch zwischen den Stilen: Während die Tagebucheinträge in altmodischer Prosa verfasst sind, sind die Global-Teens-Nachrichten aufs wesentliche reduziert und durchsetzt von einem fiktiven Jugendslang der nahen Zukunft.
Shteyngarts Roman ist einerseits eine Dystopie mit klassischen antiutopischen Motiven wie Verarmung großer Bevölkerungsschichten, totaler Überwachung, Medienmissbrauch und Jugendwahn. Andererseits ist es auch ein tragikomischer Liebesroman.
