Mimsy Were the Borogoves by Lewis Padgett
Interesting how views and opinions change over time.
When I first read this in 2017 I thought it was a bit boring. Maybe because I was expecting a time travel story, which it kinda is, but it isn't the main point.
It is more about how upbringing and education, and experience as well, shape the way we think and act. How we rely on patterns instead of instinct. But what would a child do?
Interesting.
Basis for the movie "The Last Mimzy".
Can be read here.
