I liked the ideas it explores with how content moderation may change a person's psyche slowly, to the point they don't recognize it is. But nothing of substance really happens and the ending is incredibly abrupt.

The book wasn’t what was promised by the blurb. The angle of the content moderation work is underdeveloped, and treated more like plot device.
The racist and antisemitic conspiracy part of the plot was so badly handled. It’s treated simply as shock factor and a huddle in the conflict for the protagonist’s toxic relationship.
The ending is weird. It’s rushed and just didn’t really make sense with the premise of the story. Or with the plot with the lawyer and the lawsuit.
At least it’s a fast read.
