2.0

One of the least likeable protagonists I've ever read. Fun narrative frame, but holy hell, it was hard to be trapped in Ava's unreliable POV for 95% of the book. Ava has examined none of her privilege and carries none of the responsibilities for her own decisions or her own life. At times, a bit too familiar, but other times not at all - this book combines some of the worst parts of silicon valley culture.
