Supposedly this is a literary thriller, but there's a lot wrong and dumb about this.

1. The author really really likes run-on sentences.
2. This is not how hacking works.
3. The villain is the worst mustache-twirler.
4. His plot isn't how ultra rich people plot, with intricate conspiracies that depend on hiding all the facts. Rather, they do it in the open, with plausible deniability.
5. Twirler has to keep his purchase of a farm secret, when he could just buy it.
6. He randomly decides to possess a young naive trespassing gardener and fund her gardening collective in some sort of secret challenge grant makes no sense.
7. He supplies LSD to the collective for no apparent reason.
8. He does a bunch of these near the site of his nefarious plot for no good reason, endangering his plan.
9. Twirler changes the gate code for no good reason. The real reason is the author needed the victim to be walking alone at dark.

The kids' motivations feel somewhat authentic, but everything else about this book is irritating.
