this book is timely and prescient (in part two, please don't give up on it).  I had no idea what the second half of the book was going to be about, just that it was a novel in two parts.  Unlike some other books I've read this year where the first 80-100 pages are confusing and don't make sense (ahem, Piranesi), I actually found the internet references in the first half weirdly comforting and I flew through it.  I'd primarily recommend this for children of the 90s who spent the 2010s online.  This is a book about the internet written by someone who clearly has spent a lot of time online and has mixed feelings about it.  This level of nuance is missing from most books discussing the internet, which are often quite anti- or quite pro-social media.

What the hell. I automatically give 5 stars to any book that makes me laugh AND cry. This book was at first exactly what I thought it was going to be and just as hilarious, and then before I knew what was happening it was something else completely. I usually don't care about spoilers but I'd never want to spoil this for anyone else, but do check trigger warnings if you're sensitive.

I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
