“You made me in your image, and now I will remake you in mine.”
Can always go through a Blake Crouch book expecting at least four stars. Holy shit.
This was a good story - a Frankenstein for the digital age. The only thing I didn't like were a few instances of virtue signaling that seemed to run counter to what he was actually trying to say. Also, I kept finding myself thinking the main character was a man instead of a woman, which doesn't really bode well.
