Wow, I liked this book. Felt like the narrator captured a bunch of familiar marital patterns. Some weird tonal periods where the book went from emotionally wrenching and engaging to almost academic analysis of algorithms to show how a lonely old man got hooked on facebook hate. Overall, affecting and engaging and insightful.

None

I would rate this five stars only for the chapter "The Needy Users - A Drama in Seven Algorithms" alone. Luckily all the other chapters are good as well!

I consider this a sharply focused sighting into our modern life, especially the endless family life choice comparisons and of course, the wellness business.
