This type of scifi and cyperpunk really isn't for me, but regardless of that, those two weren't the reason why I gave it a one star. The book felt pretty predictable in several parts, and the oversexualization was too much. Of course the only female main character we have is just waiting to hump the main character, of course she was a sex worker, of course she had a tragic past, the whole character of Molly just felt so cliche and flat. Let me not start on Case, who has every addiction under the sun, addicted to matrix, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. the list goes on.

This is the most I’ve ever been confused in a book. As a cyberpunk fan I thought getting into this book would be entertaining. The book gets you at some points and on others your totally confused. Anyway I can appreciate what this book has done for the genre, I’d just wait for the show to come out to enjoy this story.
