DNF'ed halfway through. Hipster spy thriller meets Yuval Noah Harar's Sapiens. Couldn't get into this one and by the time I DNF'ed nothing in particular had happened Given the rapturous praise, I feel like the Emperor really might have no clothes on...

Too slow with too much information and not enough exploration into the plot or characters. Sent me into a reading slump

outright disliked this. Also wasn’t big on The Mars Room… I will read Flamethrowers but then I think I am done with Kushner
