3.5 enjoyed the world and characters but it just felt too long.

A slightly boring topic (the parliamentary lifespan) made interesting by engaging writing.

Good but felt very detached from what I knew of expanse to this point.

A surprising ending reminding us about what is really important in life, and how AI might actually help us to leave our economically-centred lives behind to chase it. Connections, community and culture.

Enjoyed the ideas. Lingered on fictional scientific history a bit too much. Show don't tell?

Good ideas, hard to read

Scifi / political. Good ending but obviously leading into next book.

So easy to read and engaging story.

Sci fi but with a focus on the effects of sudden fame. Carl has chosen April May as first contact.

Interesting idea but it seems to get a bit lost as the story dissipates.

3.5

3.5. Lots of perspectives, flowed well.

After an intro to Huxley's world of genetic and social engineering. A ‘savage' is tossed into it, only to find he doesn't belong.

Way too long.

Bleak but optimistic. A collection of essays about the state of our planet and what we can do to continue the rebellion that might fix it.
