rated 5/10: readable but only if there's nothing else
In fact I suspect that it's ell worth reading -- but I stopped reading. Very early. Why?
I enjoyed the near-future world. Drones everywhere, doing all sorts of things (walk with your head ducked in case of low-flying drones). Intelligent devices acting as personal life managers. I particularly liked the car which ignored instructions and instead drove the character to his appointment. A believable world, tending to dystopia.
Okay, I did not like to meet someone only to have her blown up.
But then... I just did not get involved with the book. I like *science* fiction, so far so good. But I had no interest in the characters. Nor in their actions.
I put the book down. Could not be bothered picking it up again.
It seemed like a good book. But not for me.
