Jennifer Government by Max Barry




This book was selected to revisit an author whose book, Lexicon, was a masterpiece.  It was like visiting an old friend, but through time travel to a time before you knew them.  A time before they had grown and developed into the person you chose to become a part of your life.  Max Barry's - Jennifer Government feels like the main character from Dani Kollin's - The Unicorporated Man married the main character from John Scalzi's - Lock In, a fast and fun investigation into a world where corporations determine your whole identity, attempt to destroy the world you live in, and make as much money as possible on the way.  Max Barry's writing style and prose have come legions from his voice in this book but it is well worth the read for entertainment.

  1. i liked the idea the author had initially but they lost me. i wasn't a fan of the main character either. she seemed like a tough guy character but was missing something and she didn't seem as intelligent as i hoped for.
