Siu Man melompat dari lantai 20 apartemen rumahnya. Siu Man diduga bunuh diri karena perundungan yang dialaminya di dunia daring. Namun, Nga Yee sebagai kakak menolak percaya bahwa adiknya itu bunuh diri. Nga Yee percaya bahwa adiknya itu di bunuh. Ia sama sekali tidak mengikhlaskan kepergiannya adiknya itu. Sehingga kemudian ia meminta bantuan seorang detektif bernama, N. N adalah hacker dan ahli IT. Bersama N ia menelusuri penyebab kematian adiknya dan kehidupan adiknya di sekolah yang ternyata sama sekali tidak diketahuinya.

Aku harus mengatakan bahwa buku ini cukup boring ditengah-tengah. Tapi mulai dari bagian diketahuinya perundung adiknya itu, alur cerita mulai seru. Aku cukup salut dengan penulis, karena tema yang diangkat menurutku cukup rumit dan berat ya. Tentang dunia siber dan IT. Sangat menambah wawasan, walaupun terkadang bikin pusing.

Aku baca buku ini karena katanya sangat plot twist. Namun di aku gak begitu plot twist, karena hampir semuanya bisa ku tebak walaupun satu diantaranya meleset. Tapi aku tetap menikmati plotnya.

Tonally, this can at times be jarring. Chan narrates in a fairly upbeat mystery tone with a hand wavy approach to plot points. But the content - a realistic look at the impact of cyber bullying on vulnerable teenagers - is sombre. I'm not sure if the tone settled, or I got used to it, but in the second half, when Chan hits hard with the emotional centre , I was completely won to the combination. Certainly, the evolution of what initially appeared to be a saintlike protagonist into someone far more human, if not as likable, was a strength. The book develops into a serious examination of the complexities that surround online anonymous cultures - well, alongside some absurd mystery millionaire bits - and it finds small elements to keep you guessing until the end. Chan uses the challenging of readers' assumptions to position challlenging of simplistic assumptions around bullying. I'd really like for more of Chan's work to be translated now :)
