This ain’t bad. I enjoy books with secret book societies so that was fun. It was set in that glorious time in the late 00s when big tech had an air of altruism and hope. It’s set in San Francisco which is always fun.
I’m a bit surprised that not a single character was queer. It was a bit unnerving to remember that straight people live there too. Overall though, it was fun enough.
