Not what I was looking for

I can see that this is a good book, and I cried a lot to it. Just, it's not the kind of book I was hoping to read. I was too annoyed by the tales from the internet, and then it got even more real life, which I was trying to avoid.

This book destroyed me

I'm very curious how someone who isn't extremely online would read this novel, but for me it was probably the most honest articulation of the experience of living with online? But also living with the weirdness and grief and absurdity and poetry of These Times, more generally. I want more books like this.
