Dev Manny #2
Wetware
My newest client is a highly-specialized marine research facility. Fixing a broken Internet connection is simple, but in this open world role-playing video game we call life, one problem often brings another.
I’m talking bigger problems, like information theft, a very odd but interesting experiment, and a network admin who thinks he's a 1010 when he's really a 0001.
Will I bail? No. I'm an Information Technology Private Investigator. What I do is examine. Fix. And, if the Outer Gods allow it, solve.

I won Wetware from a Goodreads Giveaway, and I was very excited when I found out I won.
The book was very entertaining from the beginning, and I thoroughly enjoyed Dev Manny as a character. He was kind of smart, socially awkward, and knowledgeable about the basics of IT. Pretty much how I expected him to be, which made his encounters with others and his inner monologues quite funny.
I enjoyed the main plot of the story as well as the secretive experiments you get to read about, which are a lot different from many other books and novels. It made the book far more interesting than your typical detective story.
I felt the ending was a little too predictable, however, I tend to be able to guess the twists in plot in most movies and books, so that may just be me. However, I thought the twist was phenomenal, and I really hope it carries over into the next book featuring Dev Manny.

This sequel to Dev Manny ITPI takes an interesting turn into interface between artificial and natural intelligences. Sort of. But it is also a murderer mystery. Sort of. And its cutely technical...not as peppered with techie insiders jokes as its predecessor, but they are still there. The ones I didn't get are probably the funniest. I look forward to more of Dev and now ex-lieutenant Martin.
Recommend readers start with Superliminal: Dev Manny, Information Technology Private Investigator to get a feel for Dev and his particular world.
