a fascinating interrogation of what it means to be conscious. there were so many thing about this book that i loved-the octopuses themselves, the writing style, the ai, and the philosophical but accesible nature of the story. is the climax/ending rushed and deeply unsatisfying? yes. would i recommend this book anyway? yes.
