I still can't fully wrap my head around it, but it has been the most interesting reading experience I've had. It wasn't scary to me but definitely unsettling. Unexpectedly I was moved to tears at some points too! Even after finishing it I spent an hour or so going back to certain pages and appendixes to confirm things and coming to new realizations, and that's pretty special.
