A tragic Seinfeld episode: unlikeable characters, expertly and believably rendered, whose lives orbit and then collide in unexpected ways. Brilliant, brash, energetic writing. Very smart wordplay and metaphors.

Not a book I will remember forever, but an author whose work I will continue to read.

3.5 stars Good writing but the story didn't always hold together. I enjoyed all the very accurate SF details.

My rating is somewhat high as the writing was clever, witty and original. 
I enjoyed the writing on a sentence by sentence but characters didn’t land, difficult timeline structure, and did not stay strong throughout. Overall I like him very much.

Insufferable. The writer comes across as the most annoying person at a party, making contemptuous fun of everyone else while completely unaware that he's the contemptible one.

This book is a brutal read at times and is definitely not uplifting but the writing is good and honestly the satire is pretty spot on for a certain time in the Bay Area or honestly any west coast tech driven city in 2010. 
I appreciate how Tulathimutte really goes there.
There are definitely some boring cliches within but most of the book is dynamic and funny.
