okay, mixed feelings on this. first of all, it's not really a book- it's more of a full-cast drama in audio format. i've never ventured into the category of audible originals before this so i have absolutely no basis of comparison for this but here goes.

the story is basic- evil cyberpunk corporation runs the whole world and the government (except in this case the entire world and government is....... manhattan? new york city? and nowhere else). we have to bring down the government with our ragtag group.

anyway thought the story was fun in a simple, relatively predictable way although there was still a twist at the end i did not expect.

on the other hand, there was some stuff that was really displeasing to listen to in headphones for me. the sound design was overall pretty cool and interesting, but i never want to hear that many kissing noises directly in my ear again. also the ending was a little abrupt and i was a little taken aback by what i felt like was a but of a lacking conclusion.

overall it was fine- got me through my shift and kept me pretty well entertained.
