Okay, this was actually pretty entertaining. Kind of a clunky start to a whole series but I get what they were going for.

Definitely an easy read and well in line with other books of its kind such as Goosebumps.

I'm told the series does get better as it goes on. I guess one thing that I wasn't prepared for, despite the promise of body horror and aliens was just how dark some bits were. Even with only a single sentence or two!

I was gonna post more updates but since these are so short it wasn't really worth it. Let's find out what happens in Book 2, shall we?

Equal parts bleeding edge science fiction and fever dream, it cements itself firmly into the foundations of cyberpunk. At times full of brilliant digital shine and gritty humanity. A disorienting, fun ride through humanity and the earliest visions of a technology-driven future.

It was okay overall. Had some good world building but just didn't feel like the payoff was quite right for me.
