   No current Talk conversations about this book.  books-n-pickles | Jan 16, 2022 |  I enjoyed this a lot, it was fast paced and not Pretty diverse cast of characters and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series where (  ) kevn57 | Dec 8, 2021 | Steph and her mom are always on the run, so her only friends are the people she swaps animal photos with online. In a new town, she meets someone she would actually like to stay connected to, and she starts having doubts about her mom's judgment and priorities. Wacky SF thriller plot ensues. Touches on AI, privacy, electronic security, Internet of Things. PS Lots of queer characters. ( ) AmphipodGirl | May 23, 2021 | I really love this book! It delivers on the premise from [Cat Pictures Please], and then does so much more. The central plot around the protagonist and her parents is scary but nuanced, and well-grounded in reality. The teenagers sound like actual teenagers from the modern world. A whole bunch of real-world issues are incorporated into the story, without it ever feeling didactic or like a Very Special Episode. And the AI character is great, of course. Between the teens, the politics, and the focus on computer security, it reminds me positively of one of my other favorite books, [Little Brother]. (  ) lavaturtle | Feb 8, 2021 | Cute, fun, yet also thought provoking with shades of darkness ( ) Andorion | Feb 6, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
