This is a brilliantly engaging cyberpunk thriller. Carey balances suspense, intrigue, and horrifyingly plausible dystopian worldbuilding to keep you glued to the pages. I'll definitely be reading the sequel.

A fast-paced cyberpunk thriller of hardwired loyalty & corporate conspiracy. Well executed if fairly predictable, altho the broader world-building left me with a lot of questions and the overall package doesn’t entice me to investigate the sequel. However, that mostly confirms I’m not currently enjoying near-future dystopian novels or AR/VR worldbuilding. If you do, this is definitely worth a look.
