Ambitious scope here. Perhaps to be forgiven for the inconsistencies and muddled clarity. Tone of the writing is generally cyberpunk, often flippant and sarcastic (even if the cat wasn't an ever-present reminder). I wonder if this book isn't a cat-lover's view of the future.

Last chapter thankfully deals more directly with the themes around Theory of Mind, which was often skirted over in the preceding bulk of the book's play with consciousness. (Though with fresh comparison I think Blindsight by Watts does a better job of probing at consciousness.) While I do think the last chapter is among the best in the book, I don't think it made a great plot conclusion (bit flawed plot overall).
