This book involved not one, but two fantastically fleshed out dytopias, one of relative peace but only under utter state control even to the level of thoughts (think Orwell but worse) and the other an anarchic capitalistic state full of violence. The main character is difficult to relate to at first, but she grows with time, learning to question the authoritarian society she has been forced to believe in for her entire life. The plot twists throughout keep you guessing throughout about who is good and bad, if those categories even exist, whether anyone can be trusted, and how to know who. The technology described was realistic enough to be scary and intriuging at the same time. Overall, it was a thought and discussion-provoking book.

I am a big fan of sci-fi, but unfortunately this particular story didn't really grab my attention and I didn't get what i expected. The annotation was pretty interesting, but the story wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe I will give it a chance again, I don't know... I totally get why the majority of people liked it - the world building of the story was amazing, the technology futuristic - which was really cool but... IDK, i just didn't like it that much.

The characters were diverse and every one of them was somehow special... But I didn't really connect with them or in other words - i didn't really care about them.

The writing was fine... but to be honest, I missed something. It was good, but for me, personally, something was missing.

In conclusion, I think that the book was good in its own ways and for a sci-fi fan it's a great pick. Unfortunately, It didn't click with me.

Neurotopia has some flavors of 5th element and Matrix but remains very original and organic. The narrative is fluid and the author added a pitch of creativity and humor which make an unique masterpiece.
