I love this series of books. The interesting formatting of websites and forums, the near-future references, technological advancements and the mind-blowing plot twists all combine to create sci-fi thrillers unlike anything else. I'm also really glad the author opted to use the character's names as chapter titles as it made the story a lot less confusing than previous books. I can't wait to pick up the next book in this shared universe.
