I found this a difficult book to get to grips with. For me, there were just too many competing plot threads running through the book without much of a connection between any of them. I got the basic premise - that  this was a post apocalyptic world with enclaves of developed civilisation remaining in a world which has reverted to prehistoric times, but how that actually translates into reality was what I found difficult to accept from the start. Because of this,I struggled all the way through, however, I kept on going as I like to read from as wide a series of genres as possible. This was a sort of sci-fi meets chic-lit book, and the romantic and comedic interactions were quite fun and engaging. The idea of two characters having a scene together whilst their `holograms' were also doing the same thing was clever,  and I loved the idea that Apple would still be developing this sort of technology even after an apocalyptic disaster has reduced most of the Earth to prehistoric chaos.I think I'm going to have to come back to this one again. Maybe I'll' get it' more next time around. It certainly aroused my interest, and maybe it's worth a second shot.
