Repo Virtual by Corey J. White
2.0
It was fine. Pretty pulpy and not very well-written, but a heist book is always fun, and there were interesting conversations about the personhood of AI.
It also felt a bit like diversity bingo, with just about every character checking at least one box. It was helpful in that I got more experience with they/them pronouns, but felt a bit forced.
I won't go rushing out to find more of the author's books, but I'm not mad I read it. It just didn't bring much to the table when it comes to worldbuilding, which is what I want out of my speculative fiction.
