Asimov had me in the first half, not gonna lie. That man knew what he was doing though, and I loved how the book and character resolved. I also really loved how self aware it was.
Reading this in 2024 was so fun, especially with the ending because now we're the infinity reality! Noys was a slay, and I was really worried it was gonna be a "oh no this man doesn't know how to write women"
Definitely had a few "aur naur the incel" notes, but again Asimov knew what he was doing lol
Really really loved how Asimov decided to represent Eternity & Infinity in this book and the "ideals" of both. Also think he did a great job of showing that "the greater good" is so nebulous when left up to silly lil humans. Was fun reading this with a belief in God and watching everyone toil lol
Also lowkey a great execution of the miscommunication trope
