4.0

Putting aside the somewhat olden tones of mind sexism and racism, the book was an interesting read. Speaking about moderation and only moderately being passionabme and moderately doing everything makes you wonder if to much of something is bad. To much ambition can lead to harming others, to much passion can lead to carelessness, etc. the ending left you questioning what is reality and what isn’t. Who was trapped and who wanted to be there? If you get rid of aging do you get rid of what makes up humanity?
