Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying the book so far. Here are our discussion prompts. Feel free to reply with your thoughts or with a new prompt all together.
1. The science fiction genre is characterized by human stories with the back drop of futuristic/alternative science and the perils thereof. But this book appears to be written with an optimistic view of an alternative universe's technology. How do you feel this will affect the story? How do you think the protagonist will react to our technology in future chapters?
2. The protagonist describes his world as a paradise, far better than our reality. However, his tone tends to sound pessimistic. Why do you think this is?
3. A major hurdle in science fiction is writing yet-to-be-developed technology and scientific discoveries. How does author Elan Mastai address this? Do you find it to be effective?
4. What are your general feelings toward the book so far?
