FUCKING fantastic concepts and ideas, and we all know how much I love me some good concepts and ideas. Unfortunately the rest of it didn't manage to live up to expectation.

Es difícil encontrar ciencia ficción sober inteligencia artificial que sea complements novedosa, pero detrás de los clichés (y siendo justos, el libro se mantiene relevante a pesar de tantos años) aquí se encuentra una historia emotiva que explora ideas más allá de las que suelen asociarse al tema. Además de tratar sobre la relación de los humanos con las máquinas, de lo que significa estar vivo, del razonamiento y la inteligencia, toca temas como nuestra relación con la muerte, la soledad, la identidad, la naturaleza y las estructuras sociales.
Es un libro un tanto caótico, que demanda atención y paga con una prosa interesante y decisiones atrevidas. Quizá más explícito de lo que me habría gustado, es unaperspectiva interesante del tema.

I wanted to love this book but couldn't get into it. After about 100 pages I gave up. The issue was mostly a lack of plot, and I also found the characters very two dimensional and the dialogue wasn't great either. So none of the stuff that hooks me into a book was there.

there are a lot of interesting concepts here, which is the problem: there are too many interesting concepts here.

I can see why readers who particularly enjoy science fiction would like this book. As the first book I've read in the sci fi genre, it was too much. There was so much going on and I cared about none of it. Maybe a more seasoned fan of science fiction would know what to make of this book but I am not this person.

This was not an easy read. Not due to content, or poor writing, it was just... dense. I don't know exactly how I feel about it, but I'm glad I read it. 4/5.

This is one that it hard to rate because its just so dang weird. How do you score something when the imagery is like nothing you've ever seen. So I have 3 comments
a) the reading level of this is super advanced
b) the prose remind me of new weird but is probably not maybe I think
c) I kind of wish it was a studio Ghibli film
