I did not appreciate the overall writing style. I, too, agree that most of the characters are dull and, as someone else has mentioned in their review, "are just the vehicles for the science and story." For me, that was not that much of a deal, noocytes and biologics are the most intriguing part of the book anyway. The biological part of science was entertaining; I also loved that the author draws his inspiration from [a:Teilhard de Chardin|21264894|Teilhard de Chardin|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] and [a:George Vernadsky|287166|George Vernadsky|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png], both important for our contemporary understanding of Anthropocene and earth system science. The Quantum physics part of science sounded too stretched at times, but it was still fun to read. Another source of enjoyment stems from the fact that a pandemic of sorts is happening, creating a new world, etc., so one can find parallels and similarities.
