Status Updates From Cloud Atlas

I love all the nesting. The comet theme is cool too, as well as the various other echoed elements - Nefertiti, etc. I like how the themes from one bit sort of cross into the next: parasites, stories, and technology as a couple of heirlooms and invariable bedfellows. It really does live up to its name, as a map of linked vertices within some collective cloud of stored narratives. It's an oddly fun anthology, so far.

This is clearly a masterpiece. The level of authorship alone is exceptional and extremely impressive. I can tell that the book is building up to something, and I’m looking forward to seeing what it is. I haven’t read something this can’t-put-down in a while.
