Despite only understanding about 65% of what was going on at any one time, it was easy to get caught up in the frenetic heists. Contains surprisingly little hokey VR hacking, a fascinating take on AI, and cybernetics that straddle the line between ingenious and depressing (so many new ways to monetise yourself!). Gobsmacked to find out the author hadn't even touched a computer.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual assault, Drug abuse, and Suicidal thoughts
