reviews, I just liked the sound of it from the blurb and picked it up on a whim I m really glad I did.While the book isn t entirely without faults the author is a little too fond of the information dump and the prose occasionally gets a little purple overall I really enjoyed it.It s well researched and intelligently written Of all the speculative fiction I ve read over the last four decades, this boo This book was a real stab in the dark for me nobo...Because it s only fair to say why I didn t like a book it was this kind of sentence that did it But it was also the first ray of light entering a boarded up house in a condemned neighborhood as a hopeful squatter adjusted his sweaty grip on a crowbar and pried the plywood from a broken window.If the privacy atrocities of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scare you, but this near term sci fi thriller may read to youas a horror than a thriller.Eliot Peper has truly shown his writing strengths flourish in this novel, providing not only a great mix of sci fi visioning but also fantastic storytelling technique He is able to add the texture that helps turn a book into an extraordinary experience.Don t miss this novel, it s going to be one of the most ...ok I made it to about 70%, but a lot of that was skimming The idea of manipulating our feeds was pretty timely, considering recent news about Facebook posts being used to manipulate voters And the idea of the ends justifying the means definitely deserves some study But I just never got caught up in this particular story As I said, ...Too slow and uninteresting I just couldn t get into it despite the interesting synopsis.Book ReviewBoring The author isconcerned with his command of the English language than the tale he wants to tell It seems as though he isconcerned with the use of words than the audience.I couldn t finish the book.
