The book is a ROUGH read, not something I would usually pick. But Eliza Clarke is a genius!! This is incredibly well thought out and executed,  amazing characterization and some of the best incorporation of tech/social media in a contemporary novel I’ve seen. Insane it’s not a real story, feels scarily fleshed out
