Reviews

[Stephen]

Actually pretty good, in a quiet, depressing kind of way. Definitely not a stand alone book, there's not enough plot for that, but as a character study/reflection on purpose and the past, I enjoyed it.

[Alger Smythe-Hopkins]

I will not review this book because I did not get beyond the first couple of chapters. It is not an easy to read book, it is a high science fiction think piece more than anything else. It just isn't very interesting although the concepts are interesting
