I throughly enjoyed this book. At first I was wondering where the whole gig/bot economy was going and this definitely takes our current gig economy and traps the poor to middle class stuck in this economy and competing with bots for work.

The next big topic was Generalized AI which is never addressed directly but by the end you have the sense that the biological and not silicon can actually deliver the feared GAI.

The characters feel real and I felt everything that Olga goes through. I even was sufficiently pissed at her brother. But he even redeems himself of being an asshole.

The Buddhist elements I wish were more fleshed out and if the author ever revisits this universe maybe she will.

She's definitely an author I'd continue reading.
