"The postmodern story of twenty-nine-year-old Alice Butler, a quirky, fiercely intelligent loner with an affinity for secret codes and mathematics. She works for the huge toy company named PopCo, where she creates snooping kids' kits - KidSpy, KidTec and KidCracker. At the company conference Alice and her colleagues are brought into developing the ultimate product for the teenage girls."(Wikipedia)
Corporate companies are lieing? Meat production is the death of the environment? Advertising tricks people into buying things they don't need? Alice in PopCo land marvels at this common knowledge, as if she only just discovered the devastating impact of unlimited growth. Alice is an unworldly, geeky quixotic type, also somewhat naive. How childish is it, to go into a toy shop and destroy toys to protest against her own employer toy company? With this moronic action she only hurt the owner of the little toy shop.
Her interest is decoding, so far so well. But if I would like to know how encryptions work, I'd read a book about it. I'm bored, if I get a mathematical lecture all the time, if numbers and codes are just used to fill up pages in a flimsy story.
In spite that the author is actually brave to address ethical matter, to question the corporate business system, in spite I can applaud her wholeheartedly when she suggests veganism as the only ethical life style, I just couldn't warm to this Alice Butler. Too selfish. What kind of person would leave the cat alone at home and go away for several weeks?
