2.0

I’m not a fan of following an unreliable narrator, and I’m not sure if we are supposed to think the innovations of the future are good or bad.

Actually, I think we are supposed to think they are bad, but since we are following someone who both does and doesn’t think that it’s really open ended.

I think this story is more of an open playground where you can map your own thoughts and feelings into it and maybe that’s not what I want from a futuristic world.

I’m not sure how I feel about the book actually and maybe that’s the point.
