Adding this solely because I'm happy as hell that I finally remembered it from 7th grade. 
This was a fun read from what I remember! Likeable characters and a lovely coming of age setting, dope :3

To be totally fair this is one of a bunch of high school reads, maybe that ain't the best environment for this (certainly ain't for much literature) but I wasn't into it nearly as much as I'd hope. It's decent enough, definitely deserves its acclaims but eh. Open to giving Dickens and/or this book another shot sometime but this kind of coming-of-age tale is not my cup of tea.

A very thorough picture of the relationship between tech and morality and politics. Some moments come off as very dry but this was still a pretty damn enjoyable read, only real biting complaint is the biases the author bring in, while I don't entirely disagree, can lead to some grating points. Far from ruins the book though, a lot of fun pulling it apart in my class too so that may be blinding some other comments lol. Not bad!
