Really awesome. The mood and atmosphere are just dripping with excellent cyberpunk noir descriptions and writing. Really digging the whole vibe

Not how I expected the book to start. Interesting but we'll see where it goes

This feels like a guilty pleasure. The globe trotting, technothriller adventure is fun. The characters feel a bit soap opera.

Reminds me of good Michael Crichton yarn. Some "World War Z" as well. Intriguing.

Neat, easy to read book. Would have been super profound if I had read it in my 20s. Like "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Now, mostly just a good reminder.

Simple but fun

Pretty simple and cliched but tight and fun.

Another top science fiction audiobook from my local library.

And now there's micro black holes and space travel? What a book! A little jarring. Fairly profound.

It's gotten weird. Telepathic pigs and hinting at aliens. But the stories are still very human. I'm intrigued, and looking forward to finding out what happens.

Randomly borrowed this from my Libby app as one of the top Science Fiction audiobooks. Shades of "Cloud Cuckoo Land" and "Station Eleven" so far.

Bleak. Despair. Currently reminding me of the mood from "Grave of the Fireflies". Haunting and powerful.

Here on my 42nd birthday, I'm learning what I can about Life, the Universe, and Everything!

I can hardly put this down!

Every once in a while, I have an idea for a story, and I look it up to see if it already exists. I thought of a world where people re-live their lives over and over again, and there was a hidden society of these people that secretly run the world. Indeed, this time, this story was already written practically exactly as I imagined it! Really enjoyable so far, too!

I'm suspicious that I'll learn anything groundbreaking, but this comes highly recommended so giving it a try.

Big thoughts and emotions. Not actually very long. Audiobook is only a little over 4 hours. Will take almost as much time afterwards to think on and digest.

One hour in. Powerful so far.
