The summary says the storyline starts out dark but then shifts after awhile. The beginning is just too dark for where I am right now and there are so many people wanting to read this next, that I returned it.
What I did read was well written, especially when trying to describe the technologies involved in the world. The main character's longing for her family is described in a way that is very clear and convincing.
Thank you NetGalley and Pantheon for this ARC.
First off, I hate AI so much, always have. This book makes me hate it even more. I'd be good to never hear the words AI again and for us not to go down this path. This dystopian near future hit way too close to home. As I type this on my smartphone I'm thinking maybe I should go off grid after reading this lol
For real though this was a very unique book and definitely felt like an episode of Black Mirror. I loved the journey, the characters, and the story. The only thing I didn't love was the ending. A lot of loose ends were still there and it felt very anticlimactic. Though I don't know how they could have ended it differently.
If you love Black Mirror and dystopian, this is a great read though. The journey is worth it either way!
