Summary
*'A whip-smart, funny, and searing look at the wild world of startups.' —Good Morning America Book Club Buzz Pick *Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR

In this “wise and wickedly funny novel about love, creativity, and the limitations of the tech-verse” (Vogue) newlyweds Asha and Cyrus find themselves running one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.

Meet Asha Ray. Brilliant coder and possessor of a Pi tattoo, Asha is poised to make a scientific breakthrough when she is reunited with her high school crush, Cyrus Jones.

Before she knows it, Asha has abandoned her lab, exchanged vows with Cyrus, and gone to work at an exclusive tech incubator called Utopia to develop an app called WAI—“We are Infinite.”

WAI creates a sensation, with millions of users logging on every day. Will Cyrus and Asha’s marriage survive the pressures of sudden fame, or will she become overshadowed by the man everyone is calling the new messiah?

This “scathing—and hilarious—take on startup culture, marriage and workaholism” (Politico) explores whether or not technology—with all its limits and possibilities—can disrupt modern love.

Excellent story but the narrator was not good. I should have read the book.

I loved this book! A perfect blend of lighthearted and substantive. The characters are each so vivid and alive. The themes are relevant and current and also timeless. I listened to it on a 10 hour car trip straight through and once I got used to the narrator’s rhythm and reading style, I was invested in every word.
