liked it

Good read, but not quite what I was expecting. I liked the character Jazz, but there was a lot of filler in the story about the science behind everything so that made it hard to get through for me.

Favorite quote:
“It’s all part of the life-cycle of an economy. First it’s lawless capitalism until that starts to impede growth. Next comes regulation, law enforcement, and taxes. After that: public benefits and entitlements. Then, finally, overexpenditure and collapse.”“Wait. Collapse?”“Yes, collapse. An economy is a living thing. It’s born full of vitality and dies once it’s rigid and worn out. Then, through necessity, people break into smaller economic groups and the cycle begins anew, but with more economies. Baby economies, like Artemis is right now.”“Huh,� I said. “And if you want to make babies, somebody’s got to get fucked.�

I received an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
