In the near future, smart phones evolved to the point where they anticipate your every need and provide all the basic functions of communication and news, effectively killing off printed materials. A few "luddites" try to maintain the integrity of the written word but overall technology has won. Even Anana, a struggling artist and low-ranking employee at one of the last printed dictionaries, is a slave to her device, but when she is pulled into a dangerous plot to completely subvert language by turning it into a profit generating businses, she learns sometimes reliance on technology can be a very dangerous, and even lethal, thing.

Such a promising premise, but unfortunately the writing style left me cold. The story was written as if the characters themselves were writing a history of events, so I never felt drawn into the action or seriously concerned. Obviously if they were writing about events they were going to survive all along. The addition of the "romance" between Anana and her co-worker Bart was a stretch. I ended up skimming through to the end just to finish.

That said, I am sure there are many who would really respond to this story, it just wasn't to my personal style.
