Review from Culpability →
It was OK. There things I liked- being educated on AI and what it is capable of is good. I got a little stuck on who the heck names their daughter Eurydice. I mean don’t these people know who she was? The pretension is hard to take.

Review from A Team of One →
This was not written for the adult reader. This seemed to be written for testosterone-driven kids who spend their time in the gym and playing first-person video war games.
