First time I've read a low sci-fi adventure featuring 2 cows as main characters. I would not trade GPS and Carpe Diem for the world.

A great afrofuturistic book, where the tropes of human/AI interfacing are skewed to be more deadly for the human parts, which I like a lot - makes them less OP. The capitalist conspiracies and mob ignorance made for great antagonists. Rushed romance, but can't say it's a-typical, and the book itself acknowledges it.

Recommend to those that like afrofuturism and sci-fi adventures.

A good rescue plot, culminating with a hopeful ending of possibility for future shenanigans. I like that the ending both gives closure but also lends to new developments. Just plain fun.
