The use of repetition to convey obsession or hyper fixation is such an interesting choice.
Should we view art with the heart like the narrador does or should we view art with the mind like Schmidt does?

A bit predictable but it was funny and lighthearted.

What a way to start a book!
This was such an interesting read. It weaves together facts and fiction wonderfully. It's about technology, and history and philosophy. It portrays so incredibly well geniuses and careless of humans as well as the eerieness of AI.

I did like that the characters were complex and with very human backgrounds but jeez... they, specially Jonah, just needed to wait until his frontal lobe is fully developed. I didn't mind how toxic or codependent they were but their choices had me eyerolling.
On another note, I read some reviews and I can't understand how the main complaint people have about this book is that it switches timelines and POV. Like the brain isn't capable of understanding a miniscule thing like this? Anyway I just wanted to rant.

Insta love but cutely done.
One sentence summary: Brats have the ego of a skyscraper.
Sean is the worst, but I guess it makes sense being Patrick Bateman's brother. The book is funny and ridiculous. All the confusion derives from their huge egos.
Take a shot every time The Talking Heads is mentioned.

I was cackling most of the time. This was hilarious, lighthearted and easy to go through.
Gem is the bst.

It was so difficult to follow it almost gave me a headache. I just found it uncanny: Debord describes in the 60s our every day life today. We're living through Instagram and other social apps and we buy stuff & experiences because of how we would like to be perceived and not for their inherent cost. *sighs*

Of course women would be called demons just for not smiling more.
The gothic atmosphere was delightful.
I thought I enjoyed gossip but these people outdid me.

It has lots of Gothic elements, which I enjoyed a lot. I also like that Jenny was empathetic but not a pushover. The theater setting and the mention of Shakespeare's works was a bonus too.
