Definitely a fucked up alternate universe, but didn’t blew my mind.

Well that was disturbing

I agree with those that said this is like a black mirror episode. It definitely feels like it.

Fast paced and crazy.

an action- and depth- packed, edge-of-the-seat, gut-wrenching read.
posits a lot of questions and dilemmas for the central character to languish over.. and keeps piling it on.
regardless of what other less-enthusiastic reviews say, this one is a tense white-knuckled ride that careens off the rails of a methodically-planned social-experiment-institutionalized... and pulls no punches.
understanding all of the hackneyed Black Mirror references... and yet don't want to short-change Neuvel's adrenalized current-day conspiracy and vainglorious parallels.

the subtle cover and blurb belies what distraught anxieties are to come. in a shot 100 pages.
whew.
