Catfishing on Catnet by Naomi Kritzer

This was a fun sci fi thriller about a girl named Steph who befriends a friendly AI on a website called CatNet. Steph isn't allowed to use other social medias, but CatNet is okay because people use it to post pictures of cats, and not themselves. It's a fun ride for probably anyone who likes hard sci fi. It's scary and forward thinking without relying on overly adult themes.

I think Catfishing on CatNet provides a good example for how LBGTQ+ characters can be used in a story without being gratuitous or making the story about sex and gender. I've often questioned the media's insistence that Sex play such a domineering role in our Attractions and Identities. However, my two cents on gender-identity don't matter much. I'm here to talk about books. This was a pretty good one.
