3.0

An fast, engaging read with an interesting thought experiment but I don’t really get the message/meaning/point. Every time it seemed about to make a social commentary, it seemed to steer away from actually getting to the meat of the idea (i.e. brief mentions of immigration, identity politics, but no depth to it).
