Well... I did not expect this.

End of part one.

I just... Nobody ever told me my heart could do that??

This book is killing me.

The dedication said, "for all the people who make things," and I just rolled my eyes, but I don't think you could fully understand how desperate and hopeful this book is if you've never tried to create things in order to connect with something other than the mundane and unproblematic.If you've never tried to put your soul into creation only to be met with self-doubt,silence or platitudes.

I wonder how far in the future this takes place? I know this book is probably at least partially allegorical, but the concept of the whole humanity getting bored with emotions? Hmmmmmmm.. Must be some hardcore orwellian conditioning going on in the backend.
