While it's obvious this book was written well before the internet and other forms of communication (even mobile phones), this is a great read so far. Somewhat Orwellian and a warning against over-dependence on technology, right-wing extremism and racial/religious scapegoating. The first-person narrative is refreshing and the narrator is made more human by her observations of the mundane. So far a top novel.
