Very politically relevant in the themes of surveillance, spreading of misinformation and attempts to control public opinions through media.
However, at times, in act 2 especially, I felt it dragged.
Act 3 had me hooked. It was nervy, tense and unsettling at times, but I couldn't put it down
Great but devastatingly hopeless end.
