This book felt very relevant to today's culture. Will it stand the test of time? Maybe not since it has a lot of references that are specific to the 2020s. However, it asked good questions and made me think about the chaos that social media and people's pursuit of social media can have.
I didn't love the first 75% of this book... but something kept me going. The ending was a good payoff, so I'm glad I persisted.
While this felt like a promising commentary on the state of the world--an obsession with our screens and our followers, sponsorships and celebrities--the problem for me was that this close observation brought me in contact with self-serving and vacuous characters I'd rather not know. That's not meant as a comment on the quality of the writing, though--Angelo can write a damn good sentence.

Interesting premise, but found myself skimming often. I feel like it could have been 50-75 pgs shorter. Some parts really dragged on.
