A very sharp and fun read-- it's smart and has sort of created this fictitious parody of the world we live in. I really really enjoyed it but as I neared the end and the book was building up to a major action-packed sequence (or what I thought would be!), he started running out of paper. It comes to a mediocre and barely satisfying close, though it left me wanting a sequel (if only for the promise of that climax WTF is missing). 3 stars. Fun to read, not a game changer by any means. Reminiscent of Alif the Unseen by G Willow Wilson- recommend that if you liked this!
