One star bumped up to two stars just for at least attempting to do something interesting but I don’t get it. This seems like a huge failure of a book for me. It doesn’t end up doing anything with the world it started (and never finished) building. It’s a lot easier to follow if you think of it as a noir. There are glimmers of the patterns of that genre and the plot only makes sense if you’re familiar with them, but it doesn’t seem to know what to do with those patterns. The few moments when something literary seems to be happening (wasps nest, shuriken) never pay off. It’s a mess, that never goes anywhere useful. If all you care about is cyberpunk window dressing I suppose it would be fine, but what do you do with the rest of it then?
