All the fun of Ready Player One with none of the exhausting 80s nostalgia references and pesky misogyny.
In a very-near future dystopia where two warring corporations control everything and everyone via water and electricity rationing, a thoroughly dehydrated girl just wants to get by.
It was nice to see a dystopian revolution book where things aren't magically better or fixed just because the protagonist stood up and did the right thing. It acknowledges that people will suffer, and die, for the cause and change will be slow. Despite that, the book was hopeful and quite the page-turner. Check it out.
