This book felt a little flat to me. The characters weren't very interesting and the whole tech aspect was somewhat dated and unrealistic. Various plot points were telegraphed way early in the book and I felt like I was just waiting for them to play out:
Everyone has a different, brightly-colored ski jacket. The ambiguous "It's Liz" text.
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie

Beautiful book but the ending had the feel of a punchline.
