I said I'd grab this at some point, and I did, and I'm glad I read it. It wobbles some through the middle, and it suffers from different plausibility problems than the book it's a sequel to did, but it's a very readable book. Still very up with people, still very down on social media, but that consistency isn't a foolish hobgoblin, here. Some of the "futuristic" tech and internet stuff here is dated in the way that a five year old novel can be, but the point and meaning are solid and clear, here. Everything resolves, and the ending is a thing of joy.
