i really enjoyed this book. while the change in tone / style / character every chapter caught me off gaurd at first, once i leaned into it i loved seeing how all the stories were interwoven and how each character expressed themselves. got a little weird when egan veered into telling the future, but honestly as a book written 15 years ago, she got the gist of us being consumed by our devices. great stuff. 

i don’t usually rate but i think this book should have a higher rating so … be the change or whatever.
