What Members Thought
SECRETS ARE LIES
SHARING IS CARING
PRIVACY IS THEFT"
Wow, what a frightening and interesting little story. As I watch kids with their phones and headphones, as we watch more kids commit suicide during a live feed - you can't help but wonder, would we ever see something like this in our time. I don't think in mine, but....my kids? their kids?
Man...I just don't know.
I always hope there will be Mercer's - there to speak up and point out how crazy it is. This was an interesting story. I liked it. ...more

DNF at 20%~ Normally I try to make it to at least 50% but with this one I just couldn't do it. It was so mind-numbing. I'm lucky I got as far as I did. No way could I sit through another 13 hours of audio. Sorry.

The Point: 5 of 5
The overall book: 4 of 5
The characters: 3 of 5
Very important message. Exasperating to read. As a privacy advocate, it regularly made me want to (theoretically) punch something or (silently) scream - or both. The idiocy and naivete caused much muttering and verbal coaching of characters (even while listening & walking in public - sad to say).
Unbelievably important. I hope people listen closely.
Now. To disapear...
