It's an average work day. You've been wrapped up in a task, and you check the clock when you come up for air—4:44 pm. You go to check your email, and 44 unread messages have built up. With a shock, you realize it is April 4th—4/4. And when you get in your car to drive home, your odometer reads 44,444. Coincidence? Or have you just seen the edge of a rabbit hole?

Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses our global reality as its canvas.

So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe itself.

First half good, second half a little meh

This book didn't stick the landing for me. The beginning was gripping, and interesting, throwing out cool ideas and a deep conspiracy... but the second half devolved into a lot of thriller plotting, i.e. the phone rings when they walk in the door, it's their friend, when they go to leave, they're being followed, as they escape they find a helpful stranger! etc. Throw in a few teleportations and time cuts and not enough character development and here we are. I enjoyed my time with Rabbits and I'll be checking out the podcast.

entertaining, not really my thing

3 stars

Way better than Ready Player One (what isn’t?), but still not my fave kind of book. I tore through the second half today, though, and I gotta pour one out for anyone who has me doing that. Kind of glad that the right wing troll conspiracy theorists are probably too dumb for this book, but also worried anyway?
