Pros:
1) This is a NaNoWriMo Book: A 50,000+ word book contest is held every November on the NaNoWriMo website. The focus is how many words and not how many typos one produces.
2) Cyber-Punk Science Fiction about an everyday person who finds something mysterious in the world.
3) Near-future possibilities, we could end up this way within twenty years.
4) Awesome twist for an ending. I would like to see the story continue.

Cons:
1) There are typos and editing mistakes; but it was written in 30 days.
2) There are two sex scenes and a little bit of language, I was looking for a clean read.
3) Some of it seems mundane, "eating and showering" often.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book besides the cons; it made me think about technology and my own life and the downward spiral of mankind.

I enjoyed the futuristic storyline and stayed interested in the mystery. It did get slow in places but was enjoyable overall. I did, however, find the many editing errors annoying.

This book has an unconventional tune. The author writes a seemly meaningless rant (at least to me) every third chapter. Half of the book is used to develop the character and I do not get the ending. Still, I had fun reading this books and I recommend it. It is well thought-out and the author has an eye to the future. The futurist aspects seem quite real; better than some more establish authors' work.
