I love that a lot was left to the reader's imagination. The point comes across easier since you're not getting distracted trying to learn the details of this near-future world and how everything works in it. It's just there in everyday life, so you figure out how it works as you read on. 
It reminded me so much of Black Mirror in the setting, technology, and the swift shocking moments that pop up quickly and move on just as your eyes had time to widen a bit! The main similarity between the show and UnWorld is that the story is focused on emotional complexities and just uses tech as a lens into human behavior and relationships.
The dialogue is the only thing I found a little predictable, or maybe not convincing enough? The overall writing is so smooth, and I enjoyed reading the character's inner thoughts!

Thank you to Knopf for the Advance Reader's Edition
