A tough book to review.  There are some very interesting ideas here.  Very.  But those ideas alone may not be enough to sustain real interest for the entire novel.  And some of the rest feels like warmed over William Gibson.  The herky-jerky prose is supposed to evoke addiction, physcotropics and the wild west days of the internet.  But it can also become tiresome.  Likely would have been much better as a tighter, shorter novella.
