Being completely over Slack channel, the book reads really fast. Yet it somehow manages to show you how these characters are different from each other. They get work done, but they also show their personalities—they joke, they send gifs, they have private Slack channels with one another...they maybe fall in love!
Not much of this world is explained (for instance, why Slackbot becomes sentient or how Gerald got sucked into Slack in the first place isn't delved into), but if you just go with the flow, you're in for a breezy getaway where you can wonder what life would be like if your consciousness was roaming around the internet. Just don't be a :dustystick:
If you've used Slack, you'll probably like this even more (I have not used Slack but I still found it enjoyable).

cover design review: ★★★★★. it's what made me pick this up in the first place. it just looks so tactile, like the Windows 11 UI, specifically in the trailer lol. i literally just noticed the sunset—very nice touch
