Confusing at first, things get clear after a few pages in.
Not my type of book.

I can't wait for the next installments. This story has all the elements of the good William Gibson novels, some wry humor, and a fascinating sci-fi future dystopia with a unique twist.

Damn, this book sucked. I blame myself. Everyone seems to have rated it very highly. I thoroughly enjoy Brockway's Cracked.com articles, and I LOVED his previous book "Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody". This is the first of three parts of this book, and the author has a promotion of sorts going where if you review the first part of his book and provide proof, you will get the next "episode" for free. If you review that, you get the next one, and so on. I'm sorry Mr. Brockway, if you see this - I just couldn't get on board. I tried to; even the promises of free further episodes that might get better couldn't convince me to fabricate a favorable review. Again, it's probably just my tastes (or lack thereof). I still love you, just not Rx.
