Wrapped up the first book after much struggle. Am I crazy for finding it extremely poorly written? Writing aside, the characters suck, the motivations suck, and the scenario building feels like it was tossed together by a 12 year old. I don't get the hype. Everything is paper thin. The fictional science aspect is the most compelling part but as a cohesive whole it fails to land.

It can't. Take two playing cards and without looking at them, put them in an envelope and mail one to your friend across the country. Open up your envelope. You now know what card your friend has instantly. You can't communicate instantly this way.
