I’m reading this book— Super Sad True Love Story.
It takes place in the future, where:

…your romantic desirability is calculated and broadcast in real-time through an application for your äppärät, a communication device that projects shimmering, manipulable holograms above its surface. 4chan coarseness having permeated society, that rating is reduced to a single score: Fuckability, rated on an 800 point scale like a section of the SAT.

Many parts of this book may as well be written in a different language. And, I’m going to be honest: it scares the shit out of me how easy it is for me to relate to and understand it.
