OMC pick!

I did enjoy it, but I’m honestly not sure what to think. I was hoping for it to be more like tech takes over our social lives and the consequences.

It’s rare for me to struggle through a book. I felt very lost in this book. It took me a bit too long to catch on that we were jumping in and out of super different stories. The book is very well written and interesting but it’s scattered. In a different headspace, I probably would’ve enjoyed it and I love the commentary on the internet- but- it wasn’t an enjoyable read at this time.

Not for me. Such an interesting premise but I just couldn’t connect the dots.
