In the first chapter we are introduced to three characters. The first two don't get any physical description at all but the book keeps mentioning the dark skin of the third character in a weirdly abrupt way.
Meanwhile character 2 is testing out a neural enhancing drug that overwrites his personality and impulses with an AI that is much more suave than his natural self. Once he finds a girl who wants to hook up he has a "pornbot" AI take over - which is a terrible idea! Porn sex does not equal good sex! Whatever he thought was going to happen, he ends up spazzing out and smashing his pelvis repeatedly into the girls skull, and her understandibly negative reaction is played off as mostly just an inconvenience to character 2.
DNF
