This book is a question. Who takes the responsibility in this day and age of AI when something goes awry. Is it the machine, the algorithm, the person using it, the corporation owning it that is culpable.
Sounds great on paper but unfortunately the author couldn’t deliver.
Except for Noah, every character is extremely unlikeable and I genuinely didn’t care if they all fuck up their lives. Everyone was extremely selfish.

This was an interesting premise, totally thought-provoking and of-the-moment. Relatable too, with the teenagers. In general I devoured it - my only complaint was that it seemed to drag on a bit at one point. But a great read that I'd definitely recommend.
