pickAside from pacing that was a little slow at times (in places this read a little like a history book), I quite enjoyed this story of a dystopian near future. Vara does an excellent job of painting a scenario that's alarming for being an all-too-logical extension from where we are now. There's a bit of a Brave New World vibe. #gettbr
I almost got caught by the waves while audiowalking with the tagged book. I usually don't go past this little jut of rocks, but it seemed safe today...until I got past it and looked back. Luckily I was able to time it so I only got the toes of my shoes wet.

Vauhini Vara has written a unique, genre-bending novel packed full of a variety of characters following different timelines. At first, things were a little difficult to keep track of, but once I got the feel for it I was hooked.
The core of this novel grapples with humans and technology. King Rao is a genius who uses his computer skills to change the world. But the ultimate question is did he make things better or worse?
