This ARC was kindly provided by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 What you might expect to find if you read this: 
 1.	Bald people (duh); 
 2.	North-Korean sexy spies; 
 3.	The best bromance in the history of bromances; 
 4.	Bizarre religious cults; 
 5.	Crickets; 
 6.	A bloodshed or two; 
 7.	A great futuristic scenario! 
 This reminded me of William Gibson in certain bits... I almost mistakenly shelved this "cyberpunk". Not because it has weird robots having sex all the time - in fact, there is none of that, sadly - but because there's always a lot going on. I think that's the thing about the future, most times you imagine it as this frantic entity that takes form in a super-Beijing, or a super-Shanghai, or maybe a super-L.A. This book is full of panic, mostly because the main character is always in trouble, but also because you cannot not wear a bullet proof vest outside if you live in Los Angeles, because factories often blow up as a result of unhealthy competition, and there are people that are faceless as a result of plastic surgery. And those are only three examples. Who would think that such a short book would be so full of excitement? Fun, fun, fun. 
 But it ain't simply a fun book. It warns against a vanity-centred societal progression, about the solitude and loss of identity created by technological development and the need to remain free in such a world. I highly recommend it if after reading this short review you feel this is the kind of story you would enjoy.
