GOOD book. A bit incomprehensible at the beginning when you’re learning the jargon for the world they’re describing.

Would reccomend for all hard sci-fi fans out there.

    i enjoy hard sci-fi a lot!! him being a evo-psych sicko is one of the main themes of the book, he sees it all as a complex series of algorithms and not a human. it’s flawed narrator also, we can only see from his POV.

    if you prefer something a bit more whimsical try sirens of titan by vonnegut

      Fair enough, that interpretation makes sense to me, and I’m glad so many people found a book they enjoyed so much. Also thanks for the recommendation! I really enjoyed both Slaughterhouse 5 and Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut, so I’ll have to check that one out.
