If you are looking for world building and are keen to learn about the technology behind replication this is not the book for you. What it is is a whodunnit with a twist unlike anything I’ve seen in either genre (speculative fiction and mystery/thriller) before. I particularly liked its exploration of new motherhood, the struggles that entails and the toll it can take on a woman and her sense of identity. I also thought the book had some smart things to say about the privilege of wealth, corruption, society’s obsession with true crime and the pros and cons of social media, gaming and online communities. I was intrigued by Lou’s job - therapeutic holding - and what it says about the impact of technology and virtual reality on basic human needs. A quick and enjoyable read but not one that will have a lasting impact on me.
