Reviews

[Pinkerton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A futuristic story about a man who is cured from schizophrenia by distributing his other personalities into artificial bodies, one to Venus, another to Mars. The book tells the story of the "main" personality deciding to become unity again and how it tries to find his other "brothers" across the solar system.
As always, brilliantly narrated and intriguing as well as bizarre in choice
