there is no doubt as to why this book is so influential among scifi today. it originated and solidified many tropes that still run strong today and its worldbuilding is unparalleled.
i just. didn't find it all that compelling on its own...
the book was not to my personal tastes, and that's fine! i didn't find myself very invested in any of the characters except maybe gurney, and i was disappointed by nearly every character resolution, which i think is by design. real life isn't supposed to end in a satisfying way. however, i did read the entire damn thing, so i think i'm allowed to dislike it when compared to my own tastes as a story rather than a work of literature lol
