From award-winning author Sarah Pinsker comes a novel about one family and the technology that divides them. Everybody's getting one. Val and Julie just want what's best for their kids, David and Sophie. So when teenage son David comes home one day asking for a Pilot, a new brain implant to help with school, they reluctantly agree. This is the future, after all. Soon, Julie feels mounting pressure at work to get a Pilot to keep pace with her colleagues, leaving Val and Sophie part of the shrinking minority of people without the device. Before long, the implications are clear, for the family and society: get a Pilot or get left behind. With government subsidies and no downside, why would anyone refuse?

I found this a very interesting story, with a deep message. But unfortunately I have also found it incredibly slow, with most of the book being a more or less uneventful family drama. I had only really enjoyed the last 5 hours.If you have the patience, I don't think you will regret sticking around for the last few hours.
