This book is a really cool mix of environmentalism, the problem of communicating with both different species and ourselves, and the exploration of consciousness. I really really enjoyed it, and it definitely brought up a lot of things that I'll continue to think about for a while. I loved that the characters were all people of color, and that all of them had flaws that were explored in the book. I also liked the theme of conquering "indifference" for other people, other species, etc as our best, and maybe only, way forward.

I only read this book the entire way through because it was assigned for my book club. I would have DNF’d about 30 pages in if I could have. I think this book did have some good qualities, such as the observations made about humans and our relationship to living creatures on Earth other than ourselves. I also think it asked interesting questions about consciousness, and whether or not in the future, we should consider androids as conscious. But overall, this book was way over my head and I understood almost none of it. The ending was hopeful but it didn’t give me any satisfaction. I would not recommend unless you love science and can understand VERY complex plots.
