Some good stories, a lot that felt redundant (why tell the same story from multiple perspectives when it doesn't really add anything?), overall felt that the quality was dropping the further through the book I was. I'm writing a lot of flash fiction recently so vaguely useful to see what an author can do within 1000 words, but I'm not sure Coupland needed all 60 of these stories. As a 2005 gen Z, he generally fails to capture an authentic gen Z voice, but there's something slightly dad-ishly endearing about that. Yeah, maybe in a beautiful world all of these dad-dancers would go "viral". God, I love the way that old people talk about stuff going viral.

Binge is a fitting title for this book - I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting. Coupland hasn’t written a book this good since JPod.

Enjoyed the tone of the voices but not really sure what the overall theme is
