This was wonderful, I really like stories like this. I love to read about humans thinking about being human. I loved the mystery behind the octopi. I also love the whole greedy corporations trying to rule the world and yet there is still hope.

Hard to give this a star review since I liked the concept of the world presented but it gave me too few octopuses until the end. Give me more tentacles when your cover has tentacles.
