A tech thriller set in a near future in which AIs, both corporate and personal, have become ubiquitous. Julia is a gifted young hacker with a troubled past, trying to put the troubles behind her. A man comes to her desperate for help finding his famous wife who disappeared and may have been kidnapped. The future in this book is very believable, especially in the growth, use, and misuse of AI. It's also very disconcerting. Interesting characters, though some don't feel as fleshed out as they might have deserved. I enjoyed it.

    How did you like A Memory Called Empire? I enjoyed it pretty well. I've had Wool on my list for ages and just never get to it - did you like it?

    A Memory Called Empire was great and I enjoyed it a lot!

    If I was born in the Teixcalaanli Empire, I'd be called Four Shell.

    For reasons. 🐢

    It's a really good series.

    What did you think of Wool?

    Wool(Silo) was sooo good. I'm a sucker for a good distopian/utopian/post-apocolyptic story, but I absolutely loved it. I badly want to watch the show but don't have apple TVand don't know where to find it otherwise.

    Highly recommend though!

    Had initially started out and watched Silo until I was current with it, and then read some of Wool. The show didn't drift far from the book at all, and eventually I let the book back to the shelf in favor of other things.
