Brain fog is making it hard to read, I suspect because it's a translation? I'll try to come back later
The tone is very off-putting, reminds me of H. G. Wells? Which is weird, since they're from very different time periods. But I can't deal with a narrator who thinks he's more wise than everyone else or with gorilla Jesus right now

Some of the sections were better than others, but the overall concept of the book is fascinating to me. I'll probably want to find a paper or digital copy at some point, I think there may have been some character crossover that I missed because I can't hold onto names if I don't see them written down

Um. Wow.
I have an actual tear running down my face right now.
So, so good. The politics were more heavy than I usually like and really frustrating, but honestly very believable. The mix of science with writing that may as well be poetry was beautiful. The philosophical and ethical themes were amazing and relevant. The LGBTQIA+ portions, especially the transgender awakening, were handled well (but heads up that we're with the character through all the internal angst related to that subject)
Very impressed with this author.
