This exploration of a near-future is neither utopian or dystopian according to those living in it. The technology offers a utopian escapism and reality is a dystopian hellscape. I hope this is not where we are headed but this book made me think about technology’s role in todays society.

very grim, bizarre, and disturbing, which isn’t necessarily bad but at times made for an unpleasant reading experience. conceptually fascinating but the plot felt underdeveloped and unclear so the sci-fi elements didn’t get to fully shine. also, some of the art just looked lazy.
