Summary
Eternal life Inside is a digital paradise if you can make rent. Jim Chord can’t. He already sold off the last of his childhood memories. The love of his life has ghosted him. He has nowhere left to run. When a trillionaire goes missing, Jim has one last shot to track him down and earn a reward that will keep him Inside forever. But the magnate seems to be dead, and that simply doesn’t happen. Not here. Not to someone with money. The solution to this impossible mystery can only be found on the Outside - the grimy, blood-soaked physical world that Jim had happily forgotten. Now he must face the people and sensations he’d abandoned in a world where nothing is free and death is very real.

A Modern Take on Cyberpunk
Meatspace draws a lot of what worked with some of the more revered Cyberpunk novels but dodges some of their failings. Both Snow Crash and Neuromancer were thick with world building, a dense sludge of exposition, but the main plots weren't particularly earth-shattering. A lot of flash, but not too much substance.
Meatspace, dare I say it, actually gets it right, and really shows what can be accomplished with the Cyberpunk genre when it isn't forced to have an 80s aesthetic.
The only real problem with the book? None of the characters are really that likeable, and you never really care if they succeed. Thankfully, the overall plot and world pull it all together.
Overall, a decent novel, recommended.

Excellent Story and Performance.
A brilliant read with some really great ideas and twists that really brought the story together.
there were a few places at the beginning where I was a bit confused but soon realised what/why something was happening and hot back into the story again.
I only wish there was more description at times but over all this is a fantastic story that I feel is well needed in the 'Cyber' genre right now and the author really does it justice.
Thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cyber crime novels and story's like 'Rwady Player One'.
