i really wrestled with my rating on this one. i'm not sure it's my usual "i loved this book" vibe but i also can't find myself giving it only 4 stars. this is a good meaty book. it touches on some really challenging and difficult subjects, both familial and cultural. it's certainly creepy to read about our tech/computer beginnings in silicone valley and know that all these decades later, we're screwed!
i loved the main character of esme/jane, so flawed and raw and real. and so damn smart. and her friend lionel is a lovely supporting character in the book. i also found the ending a nice surprise.
