What a strange and compelling book. I feel like I've never read a sci-fi book quite like it so I can't compare it. Except that I want more - which makes me have mixed feelings about the fact that it's not(?) a standalone. Every character is so compelling because of all of the trolley problems they are constantly facing.

Truly loved this book. Deeply bizarre, quite upsetting at points. I love and respect Seth Dickinson's ability to introduce a horrible possibility that all the characters work to try to avoid, and then to investigate what happens if that comes true. Deeply compelling relationships between characters.
