This book hooked me with the premise but soon careened off into a new direction and ended with something out of an old James Bond movie. I was prepared to accept the story in the beginning, but soon the plot became more and more ridiculous. The story is full of technology and tech bros, and a scary future that supposedly will happen if we continue down the road that we are on. It would have been nice to see this rather than it being told to us – the conversations about these issues were superficial and told in passing rather than being thoughtful about it.
The characters start off reasonably but they soon jump off the rails, too. The more I write here about the book the less I feel like it was worth the time to read. Hopefully my next book can get me back on track.
Next is The Little Drummer Girl by John Le Carre.
