I really liked this book to start, the premise of “uploads” was interesting and seems like the future we are heading towards. I couldn’t quite grip what the purpose of one is from this story, everything science was kind of vague which I guess is fine since it’s not real. The end kind of fell apart and made me like it less. I think more could have been done and it could have ended better. I felt like the author was trying to tug on my heart but it wasn’t working.

Unworld is an extraordinarily timely novel, one that examines the edges where AI and what-makes-us-human may come uncomfortably close in the (near) future. It’s also a poignant look at grief and the lengths we will go to in order to process it, and it asks what makes a memory true and what makes it ours. All really interesting, deeply resonant themes. Plus, it’s a fast-paced, quick read.
And so I liked it a lot — up until the end, which fell short for me (and, it seems based on other readers’ reviews, for a lot of people). I had expected something that made me — and the characters — feel a little more changed; the central mystery has a lot of energy that fizzles out instead of exploding.
Ultimately, it’s like this book aaaaaalmost became what it was trying to be. A bit of a bummer, tbh.
