Zero sum game

This had some interesting stuff going on, especially given how tropey the potential for the antagonist to be in a techno thriller type book such as this. It is a lot of fun and is a strange hybrid. It definitely feels like commercial fiction in terms of flow, pacing, dialogue, and diction. But the techno aspects are also far more developed than that kind of fiction too. It’s granular in its mathematics and in its themes, especially regarding “free will”, which was a pleasant surprise. I think if you really like both of those kinds of fiction, especially action movies and one-liners and what not, it would be a perfect sweet spot for you. I wanted more of the later and something more literary, finding the dialogue especially a bit cringe worthy. But it was still plenty of enjoyable.
