Okay. So. I still think this book is kinda weird. And I am still confused about what the hell is actually going on. BUT it is fascinating and combines a lot of ideas and themes I developed a passion for in recent years, like astrodynamics, chaotic systems, computer simulations & VR, nanotechnology, the history of science, and so on and so on. :D If the ending is solid, I'll go back and reread it.

They say "character is king". I believe this is true for most stories. But this book is not about the people in it. And I struggle with finding the plot and mystery engaging enough to really care about it.

There is some wonderful writing though. I do enjoy the style. And yes, the mystery is thought-provoking. But I am also left confused a lot. - I wonder how this book will end.
