The goodreads app kept eating my review so here is my last attempt. Very slow start but ramped up extremely fast beyond the 50% mark. Left me extremely confused and very deliberately does not answer the questions it forces you to ask, which I think was a key point of the book and something commonly found in other books by the author (from what I've heard). I know it sounds negative but I don't mean this in a negative way, it means we have to come up with our own answers, which isn't always a bad thing.

Ultimately was a study of human behaviour, interaction and motivation in a future that doesn't seem too far off from where we are. I was interested enough to keep reading till the end and, honestly, if you make it past the slow beginning, and enjoy stories like this, it is truly worth the read.
