It takes an AI to catch an AI in Chaos on CatNet, the follow-up to Naomi Kritzer's award-winning near future YA thriller.
When a mysterious entity starts hacking into social networks and chat rooms to instigate paranoia and violence in the real world, it’s up to Steph and her new friend, Nell, to find a way to stop it—with the help of their benevolent AI friend, CheshireCat.
I gave the first book 4 stars, this is more of the same, develops the ideas in the first book. Nice, but more of the same, so 3 stars.
A strong sequel to Catfishing on CatNet which spins the character development further. The plot is a bit more intense than the first one but it is still mostly lighthearted. This time I also heard the audibook version - the choice of a "male" voice for Cat is a bit jarring. It should have just been kept as being read by the narrator.
