There is a pathetic attempt at making social commentary about androids and A.I. I’m going to say something, it’s going to come off mean, and I can’t help that because it is the best way to describe it. None of it is shown, and when there is finally some action, it’s so mundane that you wonder if anyone is capable of amazing feats or if it’s just friends talking each other up. That also means that there is a massive amount of exposition in the story because everyone is like, “But don’t you remember this event and that stuff that happened?” Or the worse offender when they talk about a character that’s not present and everyone takes a turn listing their amazing feats and qualities. There is constant references to events that have occurred in the past to the point that if you weren’t already keeping track, you’d find yourself passively forgetting it. Once again, the biggest problem with Wires and Nerve is that it not only wants you to remember the first volume in its entirety, but also to have read and remembered every detail of The Lunar Chronicles, but it expects you to do this. I thought, “Maybe this will help the story,” but deep down, I knew it was unlikely. It is almost twice the length of the first volume.
When I did remember the first volume, I took a look at the thickness of volume two and released a heavy sigh.
