Why read it?

This is such a gripping novel with brilliant characters, a fascinating premise, and a great setting.

I’m really interested in the digital revolution and how tech has impacted our lives, and this book is both a powerful love story and a compelling exploration of the tech industry. In the novel, three friends found a startup and create an app that creates rituals for people.

It’s clever, witty and provocative. Real food for thought!

From Victoria's list on novels inspired by the digital age.
