Pros:
- A really unique and compelling premise fleshed out perfectly
- Structurally interesting -- vignettes that build off of one another but aren't interconnected
- The amount of consideration Schweblin put into the concept of kentuckis is evident and relevant -- a minor and relatively simple piece of tech with the capacity to change the world in vital ways given enough popularity
Cons:
- It felt slow at times
Moderate: Bullying, Cursing, and Sexual content
Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Kidnapping
