have a little patience with it - the characters and what's going on will eventually sort themselves out (Unity)

I enjoyed this one and it made me think a bit about human nature and what we think will work in the future

I am starting now. I hear you CBRetriever. I am listening to the audio at 2.25X speed then will go back over the ebook to go over again as necessary. Thank you for this help.

As I read this novel, I am reminded of the Earthseed duology by Octavia E. Butler: Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. Anyone else getting some connections, some stronger, some less so?

The strongest connection I see: (view spoiler)[Strong woman as (somewhat) leader who uses an especially designed vehicle to cross the American Southwest. (hide spoiler)] But this could be common enough motif not worth noticing. It is just I am not familiar with more serious science fiction. I want to become a more familiar though.
