Liked this story. Funny, imaginative and gives a little peek into the big money laundering, off-shoring and cryptocurrency business.

Ik kan best leven met een tweede aarde voor het verhaal en dat er blijkbaar teleportatie mogelijk is tussen deze planeten. En dat die tweede planeet er precies zo uit ziet ala de aarde, omdat ze die exact nagebouwd hebben, in een beperkt aantal jaren, terwijl niemand dat door gehad heeft. Ik heb wel meer moeite met de hoofdpersoon, die totaal geen vat heeft op zijn leven en de schrijfstijl, waarbij niemand gewoon een antwoord geeft op een vraag. Ik heb het uitgelezen in de hoop op een goede conclusie, maar dat kwam er ook niet. Krijgt van mij niet meer dan 2 sterren.

Great and amusing story of a sheep
4 stars
I love the cheeky writing style of Scalzi. This story has all the great necessities to be interesting, with a few plot twists, nice protagonists, a conspiracy and real full fletched AI.
