A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor (The Carls, #2)

It's odd. I recently watched the season finale of HBO's Westworld, and this book reminded me so much of it. Without getting knee-deep into spoilers, it's all about control and instability; the idea that all-knowing technology can both bring the solution to our problems and cause them at the same time.
In the end, this is very much a book that explores what it means to be human. How weaknesses and mistakes can turn into meaningful strengths. How the choices we make are never predictable or even simple, but spurring a multitude of consequences and events to unfold.
I quite liked this book; while it was perhaps not as gripping or humorous as the first book in the series, it still comes out as deeply relevant, clever and contemporary. It very much feels like it was written for our current situation and social climate.
