The language here is beautiful with stories that so clearly speak to our present moment; however, I had a difficult time coalescing them into a meaningful whole. This book is, in parts, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, MANIAC by Benjamin Lebatut, and (at least based on my understanding of Part II) a sort of techno dystopia out of something like a Murakami novel. Each piece on its own is meaningful and interesting, but I just couldn’t get them to come together into something that felt complete.
