Followers was an engaging read, up until the conclusion, which took a long time to wrap things up while not really adding anything to the story. The science fiction elements were believable but not all that inventive, and the "smartphones are bad" messages got to be a bit much after a while. I found the cuts between the two stories increasingly frustrating - the "cut away at the most exciting moment" technique really irritates me.
The relationship between the two friends was well done, there was enough nuance for it to be believable - it avoided the trap of having a "bitch" character who is totally unlikeable, which could easily have happened with a story like this. I also liked the way the "influencers/followers" theme was integrated into all of the characters.
