At no point did I gain any clarity on what the hell was going on. That being said, sometimes that confusion fit my reading mood. This book brought me to a pensive place. This would be a great discussion or philosophy book.

Absolutely devoured this weird little sci-fi novel(la?) that satires work culture while examining broader philosophical questions about humanity, life and death.
Through a series of staff reports from the crew of an interstellar ship, composed of humans and humanoids, we see how the discovery of weird objects on a remote planet will affect them.
Sometimes confusing, sometimes not delving enough, it reminded me of a crossover between The Office, Blade Runner and 2001 Space Odyssey. Definitely an interesting quirky little book to read in one setting.
