I didn't really have a lot of expectation going into this one, I'll say the quality fluctuates because just when it's supposed to be getting good it falls flat and is encumbered by a lot of exposition and dull satire, like (and yes here comes the bad analogy)when you're just about to climax and your partner says stop, let's talk about our feelings and you're just there waiting for the good times to get going again but it never does, the vibe is dead! Catherine the heroine, is quite a interesting character, a bit sturdy of mind, the opposite of the gal from Persuasion that I can't remember right now. Anyway, this book was a drudge to get through.

The human eye is a wonderful device. With a little effort, it can fail to see even the most glaring injustice.
Reality is so flexible these days, it’s hard to tell who’s disconnected from it and who isn’t. You might even say it’s a pointless distinction.
The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

If you like futuristic hard-boiled cop books then this is for you. Overall satisfying but I suppose for me I think more could have been done with the idea. A thing that ruined it a bit for me was the unnecessary amount of curse words used, like angsty teenager I'm going to make this and that character curse a lot so that they seem tough kind of levels.
