One of the oddest little satires I've ever read!
It got off to a slow start that took a while to get me invested. It's definitely darkly funny from the get go with excellent quips, just-odd-enough characters, and a promising premise, but I didn't get reeled in until the second main character was introduced and the first main character started doing things. From there, things got weirder, darker, funnier, and all around more entertaining. If you like satires, especially of technology and modern communications, if you find blunt, nearly sociopathic characters engaging, if you enjoy throw away jokes just as much as big set-up plot punch lines, then maybe you'll also enjoy this twisted little story.
