In Our Likeness: A Novel by Bryan VanDyke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I liked the beginning of this story. I work in tech so it was interesting and I was curious to see where it would go. I also liked for a while that it folded in on itself and it was hard to tell what was real and what was not. Even though the specific ideas in this story are far from where we are today, the underlying premise of not being sure what to trust and the idea people wanting to manipulate our truths doesn’t seem like that far flung a stretch anymore, sadly.
I did feel like it escalated again and again to a place that seemed a bit closer to ridiculous by the end but it’s tough to know where to go with a story like this. I still really enjoyed my time with it and am glad I read it.
with gratitude to Little A and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
