I'm not really sure the nature of this society that I am being introduced to (granted I'm the slowest reader alive). The concept of extended lifespan and theme park centric living has been introduced at this point. I'm starting to get the feeling that Disney World has become like a small society in this story and the protagonists are members of the Disney centric civilization. The characters talk about crack like modern people would talk about weed which is interesting.
The aspect of the story that I can relate to is the part where the main character gets a call from his friends and has to drop everything to go comfort his bud. Sometimes you just have to take time out to help out a bud. I can also relate to the hesitation to date someone younger than you. Dating someone younger than you just seems like you wouldn't get along as well, but the text kind of points out how younger people have a different view of things and maybe that can help a relationship.
If I was trying to adapt this to another medium? I only got to read the first chapter so I'm not really an expert on this story, but I could see this writing being turned into film or a comic book. The writing is descriptive to the point of describing little movements between the characters that could inform actors. I'm not really sure if this story takes place in the near future or anything, but there could be cool set designs if the film were to be a future Disney World centric society.
