Obviously, these were written about a decade ago, give or take. I don’t have much to comment other than it is brilliant Doctorow and you should read all his books if you haven’t. He KNOWS the stuff he writes about. And the book is prescient. How tragic and ironic that the afterword was written by Aaron Swartz not long before his death.

Kind of a sequel or parallel novel to The Bone Clocks. I suggest you read the other before ding this. Not as great, but still superb.
