An entertaining and important read. It captures how the benign motivations and "world-changing" promise of trends like the gamification of our daily activities, the pressure to keep abreast of an increasing number of data feeds on multiple screens, the ubiquity of cameras equipped with facial recognition capabilities, GPS tracking, electronic voting, and even privately-operated drones, can turn threatening, and it does so in the context of a compelling story with well-drawn characters. These are not new ideas, but he pulls them together in a way that ably demonstrates the way they are insidiously creeping into our daily experience. As usual, Eggers gets a little too enthusiastic about thumping the reader over the head with obvious metaphors (hello, shark with an insatiable appetite!), but overall I really enjoyed this book. Probably my favorite Eggers novel since What is the What.
