This was my 33rd book finished in 2025.
So the main theme to this one was allowing technology to rule our lives and become our emotional support etc. This theme is a bit dated in the 2020s - we're living the reality. But I thought it was charming in its retro-ness (like 1960s Doctor Who being themed on computers taking over humanity, or changing body parts - influenced by early surgery - leading to body horror in the form of Cybermen).
Anyway, I digress. This was an alright story. It sort of went the way I expected, but with a few twists.
