This book is dated!! Femininity will not be honoured, especially in the last half of the book. Also, the plot begins because a man chooses cryogenic time-jumping because he is unwilling to live without ... and the plot ends with some odd notes about skin tones in a way that feels lightly encroaching on eugenics.

That being said...

The first 150 pages I did enjoy. (I do not believe I would have enjoyed it if I did not love science.)

Then the last 150 pages fell flat for me.
