A little disturbed by a female character's dissociation during the sex scene, though I understand how it was central to the plot. The Zoku LARPers made me giggle. I enjoy the character details, like the Silence's kitchen full of anachronistic cooking implements, reminding me of the primitive technology movement. This book is a genre-spoiler for me: I will no longer be content with "just add spaceships."

Also, this is yet another reference to The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, coming on top of Ian Cheng's Emissary in the Squat of Gods. I'm going to have to put it on my reading list for next year. The Metaverse wills it.

I wish I had gevulot. I think a woman would experience gevulot differently.
I appreciate that Rajaniemi doesn't explain everything: he allows the reader to experience the world as an immigrant, bolstering the feeling of uncertainty that permeates the story. I was glad that I just finished a psychology course and got a firsthand dose of inattentional blindness. How much have I missed?
