Writing near future is so gutsy, but Phillips somehow taps into so many of my personal technology anxieties here. The style is less THE NEED more THE BEAUTIFUL BUREAUCRAT. Short, speculative, but not a deep plot or character dive. And it doesn't need to be. That lets you focus more on Phillips' almost constant stream of unnerving inventions and the way they create small fractures in May's mind and her famnily.
