This book was very long. The characters were straight out of a pantomime. There are goodies and baddies and nothing in the way of shades of grey. Slightly saved by some interesting cathedral chat, but honestly: not worth it.

Light hearted book about an "AI" malware called Mal, forced to jump around between physical, real world systems after it loses its wifi. Mal's literal interpretation of the world is pretty funny in places. Quite fun.
