Honestly, it felt kind of long. I realize that the book is 500 pages, but I figured that because it was a more mixed-media format, it would be shorter. In reality, the format and perspectives made it a little more difficult to understand what was happening, as well as seeing the big picture of the story. I think it was very unique, and honestly pretty scary when you think about the similarities of COVID and the way AI is becoming more and more present nowadays. The goal of many science fiction novels is to present real life problems in a more hypothetical and extreme, often more frightening, setting,  but also in an emotional way, and I think this book did a good job of that. On my way to get the rest of the series :)
