Well, are you? Because, like, there's this pill. Yeah, it'll make you act, look, seem, sound, make, break, buy, sell, find, invent, STINK of coolness. And... get this, you'll be able to touch boobies
Nawww, dawg! I ain't playin' ya! You won't need no frizzy black wig or alter ego! No beaded curtains or orange hair! ('cuse my Brady Bunch flashbacks... I'm showing my age, yo.)
You just swallow this pill and then you like get this really hip computer chip embedded in your brain that tells you how to act and what to say and argues with you until you are da bomb. But, wait... are you really? I mean... do you really want to be THAT guy? Is stealing your mom's car and almost losing your nerdy, but wicked awesome, bff worth it? Will it really get you the girl of your dreams or just that hot chick that will go down on anyone?
Who the fuck cares?
I was hoping that this would break that formula. I was hoping that the attempts of hipness would be, idk, groundbreaking. I didn't want a freakin' modern day after school special.
But, whatever.. I'm used to disappointment. If you want a slightly more original conspiracy based YA book about microchips, you might want to check out Feed.

This title and cover made me giggle.

I'm always good for a giggle, you know that, Ben.
What in goddamn hell am I supposed to make of the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ book description, Kim?
I'm interested in hearing what you think of this one, Kim.
Review, Kim?
I'm a bitter...old... woman, Jacks...
If my memory serves me correctly, this was one of Jackass Joe's favorite books. (Remember Jackass Joe? No... of course not. You're a skimmer.)
Why the hell were you reading this anyway?

Because I liked his other book so much... that's why... I should know enough that I'm just going to be disappointed, because life sucks and all that...
No, it would have been more interesting if the coolness the kid got from the computer pill transcended the superficial cool he was after, and went instead to true coolness. But the point of the book was how superficial the coolness he wanted WAS, right? And of course, that's the kind you could buy. You can't buy real coolness. You just have it.
