Two characters, a story told back and forth throughout vignettes of their lives, slowly unpacking why they are the way they are.
It has a lot of that thing they often do in sci fi - which can be overdone, but not here - someone will do a little explainer on some bit of tech or science or other subject matter.
The voice is fresh and active, in a manner where instances of the above vehicle are good and entertaining. Even though technically these things are a tell-not-show, I'll allow it.
Many chapters ended in a twist or a cliffhanger or otherwise sharp poignant departure from the chapter's main subject matter. Stylistically it was a good device.
Began strong. Kept up the pace very well, with many diverse things happening. Ended very satisfyingly.

Loved the random references to scientific studies, but otherwise boring
