There are some points made about social media, privacy, and politics but they get lost in a muddle of relationship drama and frequent sex scenes. In the end, I'm just not sure what the point of the book is and don't really care.
*reviewed from uncorrected eARC*
adult graphic fiction (swinging couple in modern polarized political climate have fun with A.I. sex doll)
I thought this book was about videogamers from the cover graphic and was very surprised (!)--guess I could have read the description--but it was an entertaining enough story if you can get past all the toxic political hate (it's been a rough few years and I can't take it lightly just yet) and don't mind all the sex stuff..

'Contours' by Tillie Walden is about a girl addicted to her phone. Then all technology worldwide stops. Panic! 'Bloody Kids' by Krent Able is also about kids addicted to devices but takes a dark turn. I'm afraid I didn't understand the other two stories but all anthologies are a mixed bag.
