Will be mulling over this for a while and probably need to re-read the other books. Liked 80% of the book. The last bit I started skimming, but did like the reveal. This series doesn't have answers wrapped up in a bow, so if that's what you need, you will probably not enjoy this. This series is immersive and gets under your skin if you let it.

So much about control, self, what our brains perceived, what influences us. So much disconnect which is the real scary part (and is an apt metaphor for what we live in today).
