This was a fun, tight little sci fi that surprised me with its detail and finesse. It was also surprising to have so much heart in something so short. Great for fans of Inception. Small note there is a quick, casual moment of homophobia, but I wouldn’t really read it as anything more than a character being imperfect, which is kind of the whole point of the book.
