My final thoughts:
Moving forward to the next book. Hailey takes Eva to the human city of New Attica (doesn’t that vaguely like “New America”?). Rovender was taken to see the sights by Hailey’s 200-years-old grandfather, Van Turner. All new reboots, as Eva learns this is what they call Sanctuary born humans like herself, must be brought to the registrars office of New Attica. In the waiting room we meet Cadmus Pryde, the long time founder of this whole program! The creator. He also gives off this God-like aire about himself. Cadmus sends Hailey on his way with a promise of new parts for his rocket Bijou. Eva feels set up and abandoned as she’s taken on mini-tour through the registrar office.

About New Attica, it’s everything one might want in an awesome 22-3rd century city. We are all called by name as we step into pod-like taxis that hover over nothing. Nobody gets sick because the air is constantly purified, the food is flavored pellets, we are rationed with quota cards that are used to pay for everything from dinner to new emote-attire. Plus you’re surrounded by your peers.

It’s a fascination to see how the author, Tony DiTerlizzi, put Orbona (new Earth) into this very beautifully on paper. Giving the right amount of imagery where needed. Once again I would highly recommend this book, and cannot wait for the third one early this year!
