I highly recommend this book! It's an easy read but encompasses Great Thoughts to consider such as: Are those You Tube celebrities just like you and me, or have they made a cold-blooded decision to craft a persona that will attract the most followers, and what does that do to them? Does someone who finally achieves their quest for fame then get to lament the drawbacks of being famous? Is humankind Basically Good (think Star Trek) but simply ill-served by its leaders (many of whom are voted into office and therefore should be representing this "better" side of humanity but so seldom do)? Why does someone stick to their minority opinion in the face of overwhelming opposition, and how much of this is the fault of the media egging them on to feed its own maw? All this in an easily readable, fun story where the protagonist is not 100% likable and the ETs are wiser than anything on earth.
