3.0

It was a good “beach read” - fast paced and I could half-pay-attention without losing the plot. It felt like an elaborate expansion of the trolley problem, combined with the perils of social media and hacking.

I know the two women of colour were killed off early to show the racism and colonialism of the public, but it still felt like an injustice to cut their stories off so early.

White authors need to stop trying to get brownie points for writing POC, only to kill them off gruesomely like any old racist movie.

One of the most exciting thrillers I’ve ever read. The multi POV even added to the mystery taking you down roads that bring more questions in a good way. I have a new most hated character to add to my all time list and that’s Jack Larson. I will be reading this again to see what I missed the first time!
