Status Updates From Quarantine

My mind has been blown about 35 times already and I cannot put this down

I want to finish it but at the same time, it’s such an interesting book!!

This is a daunting read, but it’s so well written I’m totally hooked

Got past some questionable plot points, but Plot blown p94. He's got a "mod" (P3) that reduces emotional response so he can think logically. Thus follows human physiology fine. But then in part two, he's implanted with another brain mod which somehow bypasses all of this to make home HARDWIRED loyal to his new situation through his emotions!?!?

I need to sleep, but this is physically impossible to put down. I absolutely need to to read everything Egan has every written.

Reading/ listening to this book is like taking science drugs. Like, I'm not saying that in a glib way or saying it's necessarily psychedelic and trippy, but processing the concepts and how they are discussed and explored in this book has actually made me feel like I am rushing and coming up on MDMA. There is a mind-blowing ecstacy to Egan's writing, at least for me. Your mileage may vary.

Listen. I am 99% an emotional hook, character driven reader. I like being in the heads of sad girls so I don't have to be in mine. But I also absolutely adore big concept commit to the bit sci-fi and I am emotionally hooked on theoretical physics baybee. I'm completely obsessed and so excited it gives me energy. I am so unbelievably in love with this ridiculous book that is brain melting and re-sculpting it better!

THIS IS WRINKLING MY BRAIN!

I AM IN LOVE!!!

This is wild. The world building and concepts are fascinating. I'm hooked!

After reading Reasons to be Cheerful, I absolutely needed more Egan, so I was over the moon when I saw my favourite amateur narrator, Fraggoth Fraggoth had read some of their novels!

Having a good time with this future noir fun so far!
