3.0

Blistering little novel about being a content moderator for a major social media platform. The workplace environment felt realistic to me, and the way the characters spiral into strange behaviours because of what they're seeing every day make sense to me (especially the way they find themselves talking about real world scenarios as if they're videos they're watching for work).

I docked a star because I think the ending was a bit silly - it would have been stronger ending on the parking lot scene with the phone.
