Reread 2/19/2015
I first read this book over 5 years ago. I rated it 4 stars, and in that time I have never stopped thinking of this book. It improves with a reread, and details and concepts I missed the first time stand out well in the reread.
Downside to this book is that I get so caught up with the concepts raised that I can easily spend more time thinking about about them than actually reading.
I'd also call this a very fine example of what I love about science fiction.
What this book is not:
This is not horror. Granted, it can be creepy as hell, but not for reasons most people would consider horror.
This is not and action or adventure. Don't expect lasers or battles. This is a book about concepts.
What concepts you may ask? Well I leave that up to the reader to discover. It is the discovery and realizations which are half the fun. :)
