I have been listening to the audio version over the last week or two and it is a great book. The talk about the responsibility of Facebook for videos posted made me think about it. It is a "in the near future" dystopian type of novel. The central theme of the book is massive company in the mold of Google or Microsoft that has changed the on-line world and bit by bit they remove every bit of privacy from people. The movie version is coming out soon also and it has Tom Hanks as the "villain", a role he does not often play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the dystopian future of a society bereft of reason" ...love those types of novels. Now, this book is a bit different as everything is not bad, in fact everythings seems perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
