i really enjoyed this book, mostly because i am a lefty haha. i definitely had forgotten everything that had happened in the first book but thankfully the book explains the previous events in enough detail to get the general picture. 

i liked the plot and the different characters, i enjoyed most of the social commentary, however, at times it was quite on the nose.

Highly recommend the audiobook.

I think the first book had to do a lot of unfortunate fame- and internet-related groundwork to make this book possible, so for those who felt let down by An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, I urge you to continue with this sequel. I liked the first one fine, but this one is indeed remarkable.

I'm a sucker for an ensemble cast, and the plot offers a lot of insight into current affairs. Occasionally a bit too close for comfort – akin to reading 1984 in 1984, I imagine. A timely and skillfully executed science fiction story.

Not explicitly police brutality, but a scene with a police altercation may be upsetting. Some dicussions of and/or conflations of reality vs virtual reality may be upsetting.
