This book came highly recommended by a friend.
Typical dystopian horror story with recycled tropes, high predictability, and superficial characters.
Even the few sex scenes and mental fantasies for a female protagonist were CLEARLY written by a man.
I would not recommend this unless you’re deep into conspiracy theories about how technology is sooooooo incredibly evil. There’s interestingly a heavily biased “warning” against evil technology (read: power-hungry people) that you just can’t miss.
