Liked it, mostly. 
 Intrigued by the premise: mysterious plague that destroys a person's perception of / ability to use language, due in no small part to the quick near-universal adoption of "Memes" (a sort of mind-reading smartphone-like piece of tech). In love with quite a few bits of the writing -- lots of quotables and some really nice passages for the reader's brain to chew on and practically taste. Plus I felt pretty smart whenever I recognized any philosophical or literary reference, which I'm sure was not nearly as often as it ought to have been, but I do my best. 
 Did not care for Bart's POV sections -- seriously, the "e.g." thing was like a mental tic or something and while I understand that this was supposed to be a part of his self-consciously academic characterization it just drove me BATTY. Add that on top of his "nice guy" -ish bullshit attitude toward Ana and, well, I admit that I started skipping whole chunks of his POV sections. This on top of some of the less poetic, more thesaurus-inspired sections began to slightly wear on my patience. 
 The premise was a little hard to buy, but I guess that's true for most dystopia stories. But seriously, when almost a quarter of the U.S. population doesn't have regular internet access and less than 1/2 even own a data-enabled smartphone or tablet [source]... yeah, it's hard to buy that in only a few short years all books will be basically dead and we'll all be fighting off brain-infecting ubersmartphones. 
 Still, the book wasn't bad. I definitely see potential in this author and will be keeping an eye out for more from her. Suggesting to our adult fiction selector at the library keep it in mind if she has any money left over at the end of the month. 
 Received an e-ARC from NetGalley + a physical ARC from the publisher via Goodreads giveaway.
