It was a good “beach read” - fast paced and I could half-pay-attention without losing the plot. It felt like an elaborate expansion of the trolley problem, combined with the perils of social media and hacking.
I know the two women of colour were killed off early to show the racism and colonialism of the public, but it still felt like an injustice to cut their stories off so early.
