Clearly one of the best science fiction books I've ever read. Very original and imaginative. And it made my skin crawl more than once.

Interesting ideas and good flow but a bit too slow for my current tastes.

I don't remember enjoying the experience of reading this, but the ideas and concepts have stuck with me for a long time. I think about them often in light of what the world looks like today. Even if you must force yourself to read this, I'd call it one of those books that can offer the sort of perspective that helps us take less for granted.

Idk this was prob like between a 2.5 and 3. This book was wack af. I have to read it for class and never would’ve picked it up otherwise. It wasn’t boring, i was interested at times. I was just confused for like a quarter of it and it mostly had to do with the writing, not the content/plot
