as a huge fan of blake crouch, this book disappointed me. first, the plot was pretty predictable from the start and second, the writing felt somewhat dull? i was getting pretty bored from the beginning to the middle, and when the plot finally started picking up, the book sort of flatlined again. i would say i enjoyed the connections to things we see as of right now, such as the dangers of indifference to global problems. i definitely recommend blake crouch’s other books like recursion and dark matter a lot more than this one.
