I've been thinking abt this book a lot lately being the current state of the world. Anybody who wants a timely book to the current world without it being actually the current world should read this.

I really liked the tech world (with the god Hack). I could read an entire novella set in that world. It’s the way that the pilgrims dressed/were described and the wired implants they had. It reminded me of Clamp’s works (Chobits, Tsubasa) and brings up so many questions. I could’ve gone without the Apple references (implying that Apple took over that world or I guess it’s an expansion on the Apple bro cult? If so, that would be really contradictory given how closed off the Apple ecosystem is, how could they worship a god that stands for open source and anarchy?).

I also enjoyed London Next, though only in wanting to see how different it is from London irl. Parallel universes/our world but different/magical realism is one of my favorite settings/genres.

Holy shit that was incredible. Definitely exactly what I needed to shirk this slump ive been on. I really loved it... more thoughts to come

Happy Valentines, Bookies!
