Nearly Roadkill

Everyone in this book is a mess and says and does questionable things. It's also very sweet, very very sweet.

Sci-fi wise, it's..... something inspired by 90s internet, but powered by targeted ads, which have become a political necessity cause the government needs business money to do internet.

And that's kinda the starting point for how things get much much bigger than the main characters. Two horny queers who meet again and again in different chat rooms and have sex. And like changing roles too much to behave in the predictable way that is needed for targeted ads.

I really like how the authors' intimate knowledge of weird internet cultures and the people who make them shows. There's even some multiples having a short appearance.

I'm not happy with the ending, but eh, it's fine.

This book has the energy of Hackers (1995) but with an incredibly interesting and thoughtful exploration of gender, loads of sex, and a prescient read of corporate influence on internet culture.
