Lock In: This is a great book!!! You should read it, too!

Fair Warning, I have not finished it. I will soon, so those who already did read it, for real, no spoilers.

Why should you read this book?

• actual diversity in gender and ethnicity


• protagonist has evolved past the standard Scalzi smart-ass into someone a little more separate


• but it's still smart-alecky in a way that is very appealing


• brilliant team-work and interactions on the good-guy side


• it accurately portrays the researchy process, IMO


• revolves around tech, but is not so techno speaky that it goes over my head or hugely dominates the dialog


• archives, records management, and data security are a central pillar of the story


• net neutrality and body autonomy also pillars of the story


• major suspense and who-dun-it

I had to come into work and not keep reading the last fifth of the book. I resent this hugely.
