On balance I enjoyed this although as other reviewers have pointed out it's a really uneven read. The plot was lost a few times, but spectacularly when describing facebook engagement algorithms at length somewhere in the final quarter of the novel. In fact there are a few sections that are completely skippable, but the good bits are very good. In the end there was just too much of it, and a more critical editor could have turned this into the masterpiece it could have been.
