"The Word Exchange'' is a wonderfully imagined novel about what would happen if our personal devices actually became biologically connected to us and ultimately infected language in a way that causes severe “word flu” in the device users. This word flu is really no accident either, but a horrifying result of a business cabal trying to take a monopolistic control of individuals’ personal use of and purchases on their devices. The plan goes terribly awry, and it is up to the two main characters, Anana and Bart, who tell their stories in alternating chapters, to see a solution through to the end…at great personal peril. This book is clever, elegant and robust in a literary sense, with the addition of an exciting and dangerous adventure that our main characters must get through.
