Pros:
  • A really unique and compelling premise fleshed out perfectly
  • Structurally interesting -- vignettes that build off of one another but aren't interconnected
  • The amount of consideration Schweblin put into the concept of kentuckis is evident and relevant --  a minor and relatively simple piece of tech with the capacity to change the world in vital ways given enough popularity 
Cons:
  • It felt slow at times
