8/10

Warning: Spoilers
Pretty solid adaptation. The most chilling character so far is the creepy Koch brothers employed Chinese nephew... but all up, it's the scariness of the internet and the increasingly shifting sand under what we thought of as 'truth'. The local Chinese kids who don't know about what happened at Tiananmen Square, the reporter who falsifies an image, the internet of instant forgetting.. Communists crushing truth or Trump trampling it, the future looks grim. In answer to eamonn7: since the story includes dialogue regarding and footage from the time of the 'impending' 2016 election... i'd Suggest that, rather than 2009, it's set in, well... 2016.
