"It’s quite interesting, although you have a lot of technical and cultural terms. A very well read person would enjoy Brin’s way with words.
What I really dislike are the characters(or, to put it otherwise: the way the characters are shaped). Too many. There also can be multiple chapters before you encounter the character whose story you are experiencing in this chapter. This makes the writing a bit hard to follow." — Dec 28, 2017 06:08AM

“I have long convinced myself that the piano is like a drug, seductive and strong, and it can mess you up, it can awaken dead emotions, it can drown you in your lost selves. It is a nervous breakdown waiting to happen.”

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”
