Interesting ideas in the book, but from how much i’ve seen it hyped up online, it disappointed me slightly. It wasn’t as disturbing as I expected, but I did enjoy the stories, especially Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. Each story gave me Black Mirror vibes, and i’d love to see them adapted for screen one day!
