Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The story is extremely moving, not just for Veronica's sacrifice, but for the sacrifice the narrator makes as well. The interactions between the narrator and his AI are very realistic.
Con: The evil corporation is a cardboard villain, very difficult to believe in. Difficult to believe the nations on Earth would allow a single company to control "the fourth largest economy."
