I was glad to be reminded by a back-cover review that discomfort was the point here because oh boy did Phillips find the sweet spot of “not so terrible that you can rage against it but still icky feels.” I did take to some reddit discussions after the final scene and was glad I did - I’m a bit out of practice reading subtle + brainy and some guiding community discourse was welcome. Mad respect for this one.

As a certified AI hater, this was so good to read. It didn’t help with the ever present despair in my heart, it might have even added more, but I think this type of story is really important to read, especially now
