3 stars: enjoyed this book, you might like it too

Towards the end I started liking it more.

I think like 5 years ago I would have liked the meta commentary on tech more. Now it seems kind of trite and, as apparently the first employee at Instagram, I feel like the author is too embedded in the world he's satirizing to effectively be critical of it.

I liked the fact that there were no simple answers at the end. There were some interesting things about memory and identity and so on that were still vague by the end. I was left feeling like the story was going somewhere interesting thematically and never quite got there, but the journey was still enjoyable
