Yep, it is 5 Stars by Louise Blackwick: https://www.amazon.com/5-Stars-Louise-Blackwick-ebook/dp/B09...

Really cool author out of the Netherlands, I highly recommend the book. It is dark sci fi, and she calls it "Neon Science Fiction". Which sums the story up nicely (dark and gritty with a flippant attitude)

I believe the line she got hit with was "Can You Beat The Neon God's Algorithm?"

She also did a list on my site about books that inspired her creation of neon science fiction (and how she defines that): https://shepherd.com/best-books/inspired-neon-science-fictio...

Let me know what you think if you read it! There was one scene in the book I can't get out of my head... ever...

thanks, it's a really fun project! I launched it on HN in April 2021 :)

All the topics are hooked into Wikidata on the ML side, eventually I want to build knowledge graphs using the Wikidata info and play with historical timelines etc and see what I can do...

I am working on adding individual book pages and then genres and age group data is next.
