this isn't going to happen. tried to get through it, just can't. skips around too much and these people are all so annoying. really enjoyed the safari section.

Egan is a fantastic author. Every chapter is from a different character's POV, but they all feel completely fleshed out and have unique and distinct voice.

Now… I love a good PowerPoint every once and a while. However, I was wholly unprepared to follow 80 slides of narrative and I low-key lost the plot. Gonna reread part B sometime in the future

Time is a goon. If you were to only read one story, please jump to "Great Rock and Roll Pauses by Alison Blake."
