 This book was fun, and like Scalzi says himself, like a pop song. Its not super deep, but it is fun and found myself nodding along with the plot.

It honestly reminded me of the summer action movie that gets pushed every year. Its not deep, things kind of happen for conveniences sake but it kept me entertained for a few hours and that's all I think Scalzi really wanted out of this too. A fun story for the sake of being entertaining.

The concepts were cool and the humor was great.

Anyone annoyed that the book is "too woke" is hilarious though, that also gave me a good laugh reading the comments.
