This was, at times, incredibly difficult to read, but it feels wrong to give it anything other than five stars. There is the worst of humanity in this book, and an unfortunate implication that we don’t really get better in the future (although the sci-fi elements of this book are fantastic to read about regardless). However, there is also an enduring message of people doing what they can and bonding together despite cruelty and oppression and that shit ALWAYS gets me. That plus musings on death and the afterlife equals my ideal book.
