Reminiscent of Feed and Snow Crash, this depiction of a consumerist futuristic society takes readers on a wild ride with high-school dropout Aaron. Plagued by the glitchy computer game lodged in his head, he negotiates rapprochement with his father, a mysterious bequest, first love, and sex. McGinty offers a piercing blend of social commentary and clever comedy in this technology-infused coming-of-age story.
