The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas
3.0
Not really sure what to say. Not really sure I am real, present, or fully conscious anymore.
Mind-bending book, with very awe inspiring science and philosophy. What I loved in the book lead to deep internal introspection, various late-into-the-night conversations with friends, and a few despairing moments of realizing missed opportunities in my own life and education.
What I found monotonous, repetitive, or just seemed like-drug induced automatic writing, well, I skimmed a bit.
Definitely interesting. Crazy cool science, math, philosophy. Some fun literary and doctoral scenes. But I ended feeling meh. Perhaps because of timing, perhaps because of my lack of comprehension, or perhaps just because I missed fast-action, instant gratification.
