The concept of this is interesting, I like what he's trying to do and I definitely see why this was longlisted for the booker this year. In the context of the longlist and Case Study being longlisted as well, it makes total sense on this shortlist. 
I'm personally just not interested though. Quite liked the first story but when it got to the second, I just found it really tedious. I can appreciate what he's doing, I think it's cool, but subject wise just doesn't get me going.
