I really enjoyed this book! I read it as an audiobook at work, and it was SO engaging. It brought up questions about future technology, and what the world could look like. Also a big question in there is what makes a person “good”. A LOT of the characters were flawed, or had shortcomings, and it was interesting to see what shaped your perspective of them.

Matt and Maria’s dynamic where she talks a lot and he just listens. I’m in love, that was awesome
