Reading this was like a mix of attending a history of language lecture and reading a detailed explanation of what the future of the internet would be like from a 90's perspective.

This sounds worse than it is as I actually really enjoyed the concept of linguistic viruses affecting our evolution and was blown away at how much the author got right about how we interact on the internet today; however, the characters and through arc let the story down a bit as I wasn't as invested in them as I needed to be for such a book.

Glad I read it but wouldn't be tempted to pick it up again.
