Complicated
Unsettling, engrossing, thought-provoking. Schweblin has created an extreme version of the livestream, where people are able to be permanent logged in to other's homes.
In this novel, the writing style and feel of novelists such as Sayaka Murata and Melissa Broder meets the dreamlike and engrossing world of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One. I devoured this and am still thinking about it and what it means to be "logged on". It also got me thinking about how we anthropomorphise technology and how that affects how think of humans and how we are able to acknowledge and understand the person behind the chat, the person behind the comment, whatever it is that we're engaging with online. Brilliant.
