High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cloud Atlas is a 2004 novel, the third book by British author David Mitchell. It won the British Book Awards Literary Fiction Award and the Richard & Judy Book of the Year award, and was short-listed for the 2004 Booker Prize, Nebula Award, Arthur C. Clarke Award, and other awards, placing it among the most-honoured works of fiction in recent history.
The book is interesting, but not as thought provoking as I was hoping. The story of Sonmi is something special. Best line: "when your parents die, they move in with you"
