This was definitely an interesting read... I went in expecting sci-fi the way I'm used to it and left with what I considered more "philosophical sci-fi". It wasn't "bad", necessarily, but it was definitely different from what I'd normally read for fun and was a bit of a push to finish. I just never got into a good flow state with this book. I can see why others would enjoy it though! I'm still excited to read some of Haig's other books and I loved his writing style in particular.

This is the only book I can think of that I’ve read recently that has made me laugh; I love the outside observations of humanity and things we don’t realize are as weird as they are. This book was fun, but I felt it got a bit bogged down by sappiness at the end and felt a bit slow compared to the the first half. Still, it was fun while still giving a lot to think about.
