4.5
This book has a great premise, with plenty well-started threads. The story builds up tension and lays multiple layers, to than conclude most of them in quite unsatisfying way. With the solid philosophical and scientific groundwork introduced in the fake quotes at the beginning of each chapter, my hopes for the plot developments were higher.
But that is to say for most of the book I was sure I'll give it full five stars, so at the end of the book I am focusing on the disappointing parts, but overall it has good, believable characters shown in a number of interesting and stimulating situations.
Definitely worth a read.
