Enjoyed the concept and characters a great deal. The ode to 80s culture didn't strike me personally and sometimes went a bit long But overall I enjoyed the adventure of it all.

Very thought provoking, dark in the ways I related to it; characters and plot fall flat but overall the philosophical implications are fascinating

informative medium-paced

3.5

Well laid out and written with interesting client examples and good points. I think it would've been helpful to also bring up benefits or maybe a more rounded view of the dopamine addiction situation. It felt important and poignant and yet the conclustion was inevitably dissatisfying in the tone laying out problem in a more black and white sense.
