Every band I've liked these past five or six years I've been introduced to via the little recommendation sidebar next to every YouTube video. I discovered Akiko Yano, for example, when watching a Yellow Magic Orchestra video. The thumbnail for one of her songs looked neat. I clicked on it. I Googled her name. And right then and there I became a fan.Since high school, I've talked to maybe three or four people about music face to face. None of my friends like what I like. I've never met anybody who likes what I like. My taste in music has developed through a million other people's tastes, none of whom I'll ever meet, filtered by a series of algorithms I'll never see. The social component, talking to people, sharing obscure bands, comparing show's we've been to, is weeded out. All that's left is pure optimization.Maybe I'm not the only person who's experienced this.All the Lonely People is about the internet. It's about the kind of people who use the internet. And it's about the perspective of an eight-eyed spider as it observes man-kind and the rest of the world.It's a really weird book. It doesn't start too weird. It gets weird. I read it in less than twenty-four hours. At the end I felt how I imagine I'd feel if I found out my closest male friend had an extra-marital affair going on with my 65 year old father. It's compelling. The suspense, as we uncover details as to who these characters really are, is leg-shaking. Their interactions are painful, and I mean that in the best way possible.All the Lonely People is not a life changing book, for me at least. But it's an entertaining book -- the same way Notes From the Underground is entertaining. It's a chance to, for a few hours, have an experience that is worth remembering.

By Ian Murdock Patrick has a wonderful knack for tearing out the heart and bones of the most banal exchanges and making them dance with the reader on a page. His bleak portrait of sinking into mediocrity in a hideous town feels familiar if you read his debut novel "Zeroes" (or if it describes your life), but unlike in "Zeroes", the protagonist isn't failing so much as trying to find an interest in succeeding. You have advice for the "Zeroes", but you just want to listen to Mary. The visions of "success" surrounding her are all garish and empty, enjoyed by existentially loathsome people (who all happen to be the ones breeding and achieving worldly influence), and whenever their portrayal starts to feel like maybe these are unrealistic caricatures, you remember incidences where you encountered these people IRL.But apart from the social commentary, the story is extremely well constructed. Just as you've had enough of a character (or group of characters), you get to move on, or there's another startling revelation. Every detail you read pays off in some way. It manages to be tight with symbols without being calculating. It's very well researched, or he made stuff up convincingly enough. Benjamin's passages are sometimes as difficult as his experience of sentience probably is, but like so many other details from tedious people here, you find pieces of our present-day pestilences buried therein.TL; DR buy both this and "Zeroes". It costs less than a beer at Ruby Tuesdays.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Words We Use By Anthony Crislip Though it works as suspense, crafting a compelling and addictive narrative from the spare parts of already-forgotten 90's technology and culture, this book hits hardest with empathy. Looking at the character of Mary, I recall immediately the vivid details of her life, presented matter-of-factly, without judgment beyond her own self-loathing. The deep sadness of her life is impeccably realized and felt. Far from feeling manipulative, it has only the feeling of acute observation.Mary needs to be depressed, to be led into instant-message conversation with Una, mysterious and "beautiful as possibility itself." The questions arise - this is set in the 90's, before people threw their identities wholesale onto the internet - of who she is, what she can be. She may be a ghost for all it matters. But their communion leads to one of the most unique relationships I've ever seen in a novel, one that can alternate from life-affirming to sickening.The story is a romance in its way. It is concerned with how human beings relate, and the meaning of language, and what we create in each others' presence. How on the creation of instant messaging we almost immediately found a way to use it to hook up. How loneliness can be as illusory as contentment. And the difficulty of understanding it all.
