MixedTorHijinks ensue. The dialogue crackles, with lots of laugh-out-loud lines ... This is a book built around a profound critique of Internet culture and present-day society’s desire for constant connectivity, and yet the three characters in the Crosstalk love triangle barely engage via the Internet. They are not the zombies, and this is a bit of a shame. Outsider arguments can be hard to make effectively, and this one does not convince ... Crosstalk is undeniably a romp, but I wanted more.
