Minus 1 star for the 😒 ending that didn’t quite land but the rest was pretty bam-bam-bam premise, action, plot, social commentary, satire, absurdism and I enjoyed the ride and appreciate the author’s ambition.

Loved the ideas. Didn't love the characters or the over-the-top ending.

I wish I liked this fantasy about exposing Big Tech’s evil better but the denouement was far too preposterously and blockbusterly big-budget and painfully drawn-out. A metaphor?
