An intricate, addictive at times infuriating tale of a friendship spanning decades. The literary references are so brilliantly linked to their experiences and the characters are so richly explored.

5.0

I appreciated the experimental and reflective structure of the different parts of the book.

The referential layers in the pioneer part; the NPC part, the A/B structure of both sides.

The fictional elements are very well woven into the contemporary world, I believe there really is an unfair games with developers Sam and Sadie.

One of the best books I have read as of late. The author writes as if you are in a video game and able to restart, but this is life.

I don’t really understand the hype around this book 🙈 Don’t get me wrong, a couple parts did catch my attention

like Sadie’s pregnancy and Marx’s death

but I really struggled with the overall story and keeping me engaged. I understand the message but the writing style wasn’t for me personally.
