Rating: 4.75/5 (rounded up to 5)

If you haven't read The Circle (by the same author) then read that book first, otherwise most thing's in this book won't make sense.

The title shows you that this isn't a regular book, it shows a number of different titles that the author was thinking about. It is a completely different way of starting a book.

There are many things I wasn't expecting, including a number of one sentences.

"She would Snowden it, Manning it."

There are some things that the author included in the book that would be cool if it happened in my lifetime, and there are some I never hope happen.

"Public registries became the norm, and the idea of keeping medical information private became indefensible. It put others at risk and thwarted scientific progress."

"She and Fuad had no choice but to wait for Francis to complete the operation, the two of them engaged in the tragic everyday byproduct of the time—watching a fellow human tap on a screen, waiting for the result."

"“People want three choices, not sixty,” Gabriel said. “And for a vast array of categories, they want no choices at all."

With many characters in the book it can be difficult to remember the backstory to each one of them when they come up in the book again.

The book does take on a twist which for me almost ruined the mood of the book, but it also allows the reader to read about different things.

At one point in the book, the author references someone reading a book that could be considered meta because it sounds like they are reading the exact book you're reading. I think the author did this on purpose.

With the way the book ends, I don't expect a sequel but I've been surprised before by this author.

"“No, I don’t presearch people before I meet them,” Gregory said. Again he’d read her mind. “I ask them questions and learn about them from their answers. I realize how radical that is.”"
