lucardus's review against another edition
4.0
Wieder als Mithör-Schmarotzer. Und wieder eher genötigt, mir das anzuhören. Trotzdem ich humoristische Phantastik (in dem Fall ja Near-Future-SF) eher nicht so schätze, trifft der Humor hier sehr oft ins Schwarze und die Gesellschaftskritik ist eine bittere Beilage. Selbst für technikaffine Nerds ist hier nichts drin, was man genüsslich als "Der-Autor-hat-doch-keine-Ahnung-von-Computern!" Unsinn mit einer anhaltenden Serie verächtlicher Pfzzzts kommentieren könnte. Kling ist einfach unverschämt gut darin, meine Abneigung gegen geschriebenen deutschsprachigen Humor auszuhebeln und dabei "fachlich" auch noch um Klassen besser auszusehen als so mancher Autor so genannter "Technothriller". Hinzu kommt überflüssigerweise die Artikulationskunst und die Stimmwechsel-Performance des Autors beim Vortragen seines eigenen Werkes. Ich bin echt genervt, dass ich schon wieder 4 Sterne für diesen deutschsprachigen Autor vergeben muss, der auch noch gekonnte Technologie-Witze macht. Nerd-Humor ohne Fremdschämen. Das ich das noch erleben muss.

i didn’t actually finish the book i thought it thoroughly did not live up to my expectations and 150 pages in i still had no clue what the plot was. no attachment to characters, the most intriguing part was the setting but that was about it :/ maybe one day when i’ve given up all hope on books and novels or just genuinely don’t know what to do with my life i’ll finish it :D

I have listened to it before in German and I just don't use the app anymore where they have it in Spanish (Bookbeat).

I almost dnfed, but I'm glad I stayed. It was just 'okay' :D (I'm make a joke from the book)
In seriousness, I didn't like the beginning at all. But after a few chapters I liked where it was headed. Yeah it might seem like other books of it's category but the characters are funny which made me stay. I also like the different story lines that we could see the small connections through at each chapter.
