Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan seems like a clever book. The author's bio on the back flap talks about him splitting his time between San Fran and the internet.The story centers around a protagonist in his 20s who befriends a cute Googler. They date, although I do not believe the term "dating" is ever used as it may be too antiquated for younger generations.
Despite garnering good reviews and having some humorous quips, this novel was a bit too trendy and surrealistic a genre for me and ended up in my "started but not finish/perused" category.
Also, despite being an Agatha Christie fan when I was younger, I no longer read mysteries and tend to enjoy mysteries more as they unfold on screen versus on pages.
