I like the concept of the dystopia a lot. I think it'd be interesting to pair this book with the recent Taylor Lorenz podcast ep about surveillance as entertainment. I do think the dystopia could have gone farther and said more about how entertainment normalizes surveillance so the government can more easily use it to control citizens. The reveal also seemed a bit convoluted.

I'm still looking forward to reading the next book, though! Overall, it was interesting and entertaining.
