Okay I have a very very mildly spoiler-y question about this book. It was just kind of a whoa moment for me so spoiler tags.
A character who is a proliific Internet troll claims they invented Chris Chan. I scoffed so hard at this. That was a bridge too far for me personally. Though now I think it's kind of funny.
My question is-- how many literature nerds also are online enough to know who Chris is? Whenever I ask someone, they don't know. I am very curious about the crossover here.
Sometimes this book annoyed me, but I wound up loving it. I'm kind of thrilled someone wrote something this good that involves a lot of Internet culture.
It was a bit uneven but I forgive it, mostly. The first two sections were pretty chef's kiss in my opinion, especially the second one.
At the same time, I think I can understand if people hated it or had a lot of "what is he talking about?" reactions.
Would like to hear your thoughts if anyone has some.
