In addition to new technologies, I really liked how Scalzi handled the change in social patterns brought about by the locked in population. Why not make the original article a bit longer and if necessary, have the narrator explain other things as they arise?

Also side note, I did not even notice until I saw it written out, but the main character, Chris Shane, is never assigned a gender.This safe looks and feels like a real dictionary and will blend in seamlessly with other books on a bookshelf, it provides the perfect hiding place for those important personal effects. There was a plague that left tons of people completely paralyzed, so scientists created a way to let these people sync their brains into robot bodies. I have been familiar with his work and I vow to read everything he has put on page, but I know from experience that this type of story can be best appreciated in small increments with some other reads in between.

I did get pretty caught up on how society changed because of all the people who were locked in and how they became like their own class/race of people. In conjunction with Sam Lock's 2021 Tempo exhibition we are thrilled to be publishing a book entitled 'Temporary'. Trying to unravel the threads of the murder, Chris unearths even more puzzling events leading to a much bigger crime than anyone imagined.

However most of the above background information has to be pieced together as the reader progresses through the book, as we are pretty much dropped right into the thick of things without much explanation upfront. As Lock Book is not actually installed on your computer and you simply sign up online, you don't need a particularly powerful computer. Well two key issues for me were: 1) my personal dislike of stories with over-complex plots and a cast of thousands, and 2) it was starting to feel like one of those books where every problem is resolved by the disclosure of yet another new invention that just happens to fit this precise scenario. A controversial law has passed, severely limiting government assistance for the Hadens, cutting the enormous flow of social support that many of taxpayers have found, well, taxing (a frequent sentiment in the US, as we know). I'm not sure if Scalzi did this intentionally, but there were definite parallels at some points in the book.

So many people are affected by this condition that entire corporations and businesses spring up to deal with the phenomenon. There is also the suggestion (once) that some people might have sex with threeps, but although the threeps have adjustable pain sensors, there's no mention of any kind of physical pleasure from the threeps, so why would anyone using one engage in sex, or would it always be coercive, or perhaps commercial?

It's not that I think it a bad book, rather I think it's a book I was incapable of fully appreciating. It’s tough to be a human: that is something I’ve learned during my lengthy time studying the human species on this planet Earth. But the writing, the premise of the story along with the background of Haden’s Syndrome and what it means for the world all came together in one perfect package for me. So the thing that I didn’t notice until someone pointed it out to me was that our MC could be any gender or race.Good ones will not jolt the reader's suspension of disbelief while bad ones will keep the reader's eye's rolling non-stop.
