4.0

It had a very interesting premise and it was fun to piece together the story through the context of personal reports. This book was a great exploration into humanity, the need for connection, and loneliness. If a reader didn’t or couldn’t read too much into it, it still made for an entertaining journey. 

This book reminds me of what it’s like to gather little pieces of lore in video games (through scattered notes, lost tapes, environmental clues, etc.)
