The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

adventurous challenging informative reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

We study the realm of consciousness because we understand that to decide something, to weigh a cost and accept its consequences, is to forcibly alter the world in some tangible way. 

the atlas six is a book that would either make you realize a few things and stare at the ceiling and say to yourself, "oh wow, that kind of makes sense!" or would mush your mind into a whirlpool of boggling existential experience and say to yourself, ''what the fuck am i even reading?'' 

the writing inside this book is impeccable and even theatrical, and i applaud it for that, but the way the characters were exhibited, their point of views, their motivations, and how out of touch they were to the plot, are what made the book insufferable for me (i'm sorry).
