The plot is unique and the content fresh, but the first person narration doesn't do enough to develop its narrator's character. I liked the bookstore elements more than the big tech elements.

Super fun read. And the book cover glows in the dark! Not like I'm judging books by their covers, but seriously.

Super engaging, wonderfully nerdy, thought-provoking, and with a heart-warming philosophy to share. Highly recommend.
