one of the greatest reflections on humanity ive read. the characters are intentionally flat, yet they feel so real, human, and you feel for them. the emotional exploration of nihilism, and the ideas that hold us here and let us float away, and how to live when nothing means anything, when everything leads to the same conclusion.
