4.0

When I picked this book up, I was desperate for something that wasn't romantasy.  I am definitely happy with my choice.  This book was a great pallete cleaner.

The story moved quickly, I think the whole book lasted a week in the story.  I got a little confused with all the different names and companies.  Especially since characters are overlapping and sometimes two characters are combined into one.  I thought about making a chart at one point just to keep track of everyone and how they connected.

Overall, I really like this book.  I really enjoyed the murder mystery aspect and enjoyed the science ideas behind the world building.  I thought it was a unique perspective on a matrix-like idea.
