So many thoughts, so many tabs on this one! I understand the critiques and the praise, but overall I can definitely see myself going back to this really unique literary sci-fi. And one I'd definitely recommend!

Strikes me as similar to Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow - not in plot but in tone. The vocabulary of this book alone sets it apart from most.
