Went into this with high expectations that aren't so far being met. The concept is brilliantly interesting, and I've loved Eggers' short stories.. but I'm wondering if longer books aren't his strong suit. The dialogue is detached and inhuman, and there is some simple grammatical errors that I wouldn't expect to see from a seasoned author.

pissing me off that MC doesn't see reason at all or give a second thought to the criticism she's getting

Sticking with a lot of the same comments I wrote at the last pause point. The concept is there, and I would say the world feels plenty fleshed out, but the characters are confusing and unnatural. I don't understand the main character's motivations or inner being. And the social commentary is VERY blatant, there isn't a lot of nuance or subtly.
