I listened to this as an audiobook. I feel like because of that, I can’t review it properly. I struggled to follow the story in audio form. This is in no way a fault of the book, this is a personal challenge. Listening to the book did make me think that I could enjoy the book way more in written form. I am determined to come back to this book again. The book seemed to pose some very interesting ideas and scenarios that I don’t think you can fully appreciate in audio form. At least if you’re like me and English isn’t your first language.
