3.0

Was nauseous for 90% of this book. This was better than Dalcher's debut novel, Vox, for me though so if you didn't like that one I'd still give this dystopian world a try but only if you're cool with thinking about how close America came to or could come to this world. And the nausea, gotta be cool with the nausea inducing occurences.
