Some interesting ideas about how things could become in the future, though overall contrived and nothing mind-blowing. Some terrific descriptions and turns of phrase. I think the best thing about the book is the insightful and interesting take on what is it to be the child of an immigrant. But overall, a bit tiresome and significantly longer than it needed to be. I feel like he read Infinite Jest and was inspired, but this pales in comparison. Also, I found the ending really weak, like he didn't know how to conclude things and just tacked on an update. I'll probably forget all about this book within weeks; other than its title, just for its inaneness.
