Interesting near-future thriller. Some disturbing scenes. Odd use of second person narrative. Not sure about the ending.
Yeah, on a second reading, still not that fab.
"The AI manipulated everybody so that nobody had any real agency," is actually a really dull concept and it's at least the third time Stross has used it. Additionally the story story stops with heaps of loose ends and not much clarity about what's really happened.
Ehhhh. It's a crime novel except IN THE FUTURE OMG. It's not even WEIRD crimes like the cover claims.
